Vienna!

Samer recently took a short trip to Vienna and he gave me permission to tell y'all a bit about it.  OK, actually I just asked him to send me certain pictures and he did knowing full well why I wanted them.  Thankfully he doesn't mind my talking about him.  :)

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.

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!
