3/29/12-3/30/12 Vienna


3/29/12- 3/30/12

We started our spring break trip today!  I am going with Caroline, Claire, and Ashleigh.  When we were saying goodbye to our friends, Ashlyn and Alex in Italy, it was like saying goodbye to my parents.  They each gave us a huge hug and stood at the doorway with their arms around each other waving goodbye to us. 

We rode on an overnight train to Vienna, Austria.  Let me just say, the overnight train is AWESOME!  I felt like I was riding to the Capitol like on the Hunger Games.  I slept so well on that train.  The best part was when I woke up; I was no longer in Italy!   I was in Austria!

When we got to Vienna, it was raining!  Not a great start to the trip, but we still had a blast!  We toured schonbrunn palace today (where marie anntoinette lived, hapsburg family, and maria teressa).  Then we saw a pretty church.  We navigated the subway and train systems.  We even went to the opera!  It was so cool!  They had standing room for four Euros!  We went shopping and saw some really cool things! 

The people are so nice here!  Whenever we get lost, they are really nice and help us find our way!  We asked a guy where the opera house was, and he wasn’t from Vienna.  We tried to point us in the right direction, but he wasn’t sure.  Then we parted ways.  I am pretty sure he was in a rush because he was walking fast.  Then he found us again and said he pointed the wrong way and showed us the right way!  How nice is that???!!!  

Overall it was a wonderful day!!!  I cannot wait to see what the adventures tomorrow brings in Vienna!!
I guess I should not say ciao since I am not in Italy so…

Auf weidersehn!
