He has scads of wonderful pictures from museums and the streets of Vienna and visits to Beethoven and Mozart's houses, - oh, and he went to a zoo for the first time in his life and has pictures to prove it - but I decided to only share four pictures on this post. (The files are rather big - click the pics to enlarge - and take some time to upload.)
Early in June each year, they have this outdoor concert. You can sit on the hill for a lovely view or move on down to actually hear the classical music.

| Samer enjoying the view |
 |
| Lovely garden area |
The parks are full of vibrant flowers
 |
| Wheeee! I love flowers! |
And Vienna has terrific desserts like this Sachertorte which is pronounced in German like this: [ˈzaxɐˌtɔʁtə]
 |
| Does anyone else see someone peeking over Samer's shoulder? |
If you can say that correctly, you are my new hero. I can't seem to get that throat-clearing sound to come out easily enough.
Vienna looks like a great place to visit!

Lovely pics! Samer sure is enjoying the air,noise,food and everything that nature and humans can offer :) Thank you for sharing Vienna with us....Samer!:)
Vienna sure seems nice! I'm glad you enjoyed his pictures, Lat! :)
Lovely pictures! I hope to visit Vienna one day - my bf has actually lived there for a couple of years.
And yes, I can pronounce Sachertorte correctly, but I also took German for a couple of years and Danish is related to German (although our language is not quite as hard on the throat)
Ah so you are my hero! :)
English is a Germanic language, but it's not hard on the throat! ;)
Yeah I know :P you also have many problems pronouncing French :P the book I'm using to learn French is written for English-speaking people, so half of the things they point out you need to be careful about, I have no issue with (especially r's and such).
Ha! Samer and I were talking about Rs just yesterday and I was asking why they could not just pronounce Rs in a sweet way like I do. ;) :D
Yeah you wouldn't be able to pronounce my name correctly ;)
Great photos :)
Becky, really? I wouldn't know how to pronounce Rebekka?! But Rebekah is my middle name! :-P
Suroor, thanks!!
Sorry, I should've clarified that, you wouldn't be able to pronounce it correctly the Danish/German way, since you have trouble with your R's :D
aha! I had Samer say it for me :) Interesting!! :D
