Vienna, Austria

Ed and I took off on Friday morning for the airport and flew to Vienna where we met up with Weldon and Jenny Martens who had been in northern Austria for the last 5 days. We strolled around Vienna getting a feel for the flavor of Vienna. We had a nice pasta meal and headed for bed for a full day of sightseeing the next day.
It was unseasonably cold but we made the most of it. This is the outside of the Opera house. And this is the inside of the opera house. The bust of Mozart along with a number of others are in the lobby area.
Here is Weldon and Jenny at the end of the tour in the performance hall.
A beautiful cathedral in the middle of the city.
Vienna has lots of museums and statues.
We were really tired at the end of the day but had a great meal at a restaurant recommended by the hotel we were staying at and had lots of good conversation with old friends. Vacations don't get much better. More to come.....next....Piran, Slovenia.
