Vienna...

Both Steve and I really like Vienna. Unfortunately we only spent a day there; it's big enough to spend a lot more time. Not only was the city beautiful, but so were the young ladies. That's part of experiencing a city too, right?
This is the view we had of Vienna from our hostel, not bad.

St. Charles Church was beautiful both outside and inside. I'm not much of a Baroque fan, but this church blew me away.

The dome inside of the church was covered in heavenly, colorful frescos that dazzled our eyes. We climbed all the way up a large scaffolding inside to get a better view of the paintings.

The Secession Building is one we both learned about in our architecture class, so it was neat to see it for ourselves. Our professor would be proud.

Steve eats strawberry ice cream in the streets of Vienna.

I think this was some government building. Quite impressive.

The Hundertwasser house is just out of control. Loved it!
