Just like the first day
that we spent in Budapest the family first started off the day
touring many of the popular places found here in Vienna. After
waking up and enjoying a nice breakfast we met up with Manuela, our
Vienna tour guide. Much like Szilvia, Manuela is very energetic and
educated. A few of the places that she took us today were The
Habsburg Palace, famous museums, and a famous market
.
My favorite place that we
toured today would have to be The Habsburg Palace. This palace was
con-prized of a number of different building, churches, and so much
more because it was HUGE! A little bit of back round information on
The Habsburg's is that they ruled Austria for more than 650 years with
their rein ending at the beginning of WWI when Franz Ferdinand, a
Habsburg himself, was assassinated in Bosnia. Their palace didn't
just house them but also all of their servants. The
Habsburg Palace is no longer used as a home but serves as a number of different museums. After about two hours of touring Manuela called it a day and set us free. During our free time Hailey and I chose to take on the market with Allison and Teri. Overflowing with fruits, vegetables, nuts, and so much more it looked a lot like an American farmer's market. We also enjoyed lunch down at the market as well. After a couple hours of shopping we decided it was time for a little break for the afternoon before heading out for tonight's festivities. The boy's on the other hand spend their entire afternoon relaxing, for more on their progress you can ask them :).
