Vienna

From Budapest, we took a 4 hour train to Vienna, Austria.  Aaron really wanted to go to Austria and Turkey because those are two countries he hadn't been to before; and we went to both this trip.  We made it to our apartment in Vienna and headed out for the afternoon.  It was raining of course.  The city was very clean and beautiful.  Walking around for about 3 hours was a good amount of time for us to realize that the city didn't have too much personality.  At any point in time you there were at least 5 H&Ms, Zaras, Starbucks, etc within a 2 minute walk.  The restaurants definitely catered towards the older clientele.  It seemed like we were on 16 St. Mall in Denver, at all points of time.  Like I said the city was beautiful and I am glad we went, I just don't know if I'll ever go back.  My friend said that Vienna is a "box of chocolates city: it's nice, but boring," and I would have to agree.  We finally found a restaurant with a little personality after we walked about 30 minutes from city center.  Austria is sort of the boring brother of Germany.  Here are a couple pictures from the city:

16 St. Mall, Vienna, Austria

I believe this is one of the National libraries or one of the hundred museums.

"I should probably take a picture while I'm in Austria." 

This area was very beautiful.  This is the Schonbrunn Palace
