The Mozart statue.
Mozart came to Vienna in 1781, and composed many of his great works. He is also buried in Vienna.
Another one of the many city parks. Later in the day we sat here and had drinks (expensive water and coke) and a few snacks.
One of the buildings lining the park.
This is the Butterfly House, just in front of the park. It is also a restaurant. I LOVED being right here.
My friend tells me this is her favorite city in Europe, and while I was here I knew why. It is so beautiful.
Inside the butterfly house.
FYI: Butterflies are really hard to photograph.
In front of the butterfly house. This is just proof that I was actually on this trip.
Another statue. These things were everywhere.
A view of downtown, in the fussganger zone (walking zone).
So many street artists, actors and vendors. Annie wasn't sure about this guy.
Saint Stephen's Cathedral.
The roof of this cathedral is not original; the first was ravaged by war. There is also still a cannonball stuck somewhere on the outside of the church, however we never found it.
The spires were also supposed to match in size, but funding was lost in the middle of construction, so the spire was cut short and the stairs inside lead nowhere.
Awww.... so cute.
After we visited the Cathedral, we took the kids for ice cream and bought them balloons. Cooper's didn't make it back to the hotel, Annie's turned into a sword for the boys, and somehow Noah's survived all the way home.
Our last stop of the day was the market. Apparently, this is where many of the restaurants purchase their food and spices. It was pretty packed, but we walked away with some dried fruit and some fresh coconut.
And before we went to bed, there was a pharaoh in our apartment.
