Day 5: Vienna

We arrived in Vienna and it was raining. Not pouring down but still
raining. We immediately went on a tour of the city. After our city
tour guide got done with her socialist rant about how great it was to
get "free" healthcare and 5 weeks vacation (no wonder our GDP is so
much greater) she should us around what can easily be called one if
the most well prserved cities in Europe.

The Hobsburg family ruled most of eastern Europe for 700 years
amassing great wealth in their capital city ad home in Vienna. Their
palace is huge and very ornate. Their dynasty had the most "holy roman
emperors" Since they were protectorates of the catholic church their
church are some of the most impressive.

We walked through St Stephens cathedral (this is the first martyr
Stephen not the same one as in Budapest). All the pictures of Jesus
are covered with purple awaiting Easter. We also walked around to
other buildings but we did not go in until the next day.

That night we did an excursion to the countryside to eat at an inn
that is very popular and hosted Napolean when he was conducting a
battle to the north. The food was great and tiffaney was asked to
dance by an german guy. She did the Danube waltz with him and she was
all red.

We were tired and called it an early night.
