Diary of a Visit: Vienna

Oh, you didn't know that everywhere my mom goes she makes new friends? Take my cousin's wedding this summer. She married a man whose originally from Austria and his family came to the wedding in California... my mom made friends with his cousin, Julia, who lives in Vienna. My mom had the brilliant idea of exchanging emails and letting Julia know they'd be in Germany. We also conveniently drove through Austria (twice) on our way to/from Italy. Mom decided that a stop in Vienna to meet Julia would be fun. And so it was (except the fact that Chad and I were sick... grumpy... cold... borderline miserable... which always makes for a fun vacation).
-Vienna, Austria-

I decided to post this picture regardless of how fat my head looks because it sums up our feelings towards the symptoms that decided to plague us.






At the base of a really cool Mozart statue... unfortunately, my mom isn't that handy with the camera and could find no possible way to fit us and the statue in the frame. And... I didn't really care at this moment.
Opera House at Night
Our Carriage Ride Through Vienna...
And last but not least... we braved opening night of Vienna's Christmas Market... and then went back to the hotel where the vicks was...
Vienna was a beautiful city with delicious food and kind people. We hope to visit again... and be able to enjoy it MORE since we'll hopefully be able to breathe and taste food again.

ciao.
