Winter and summer homes

---

Yesterday was a busy one. We took a bus tour through Vienna followed by a tour of the Schonbrunn Palace....the summer home of the Hapsburgs, who ruled Austria for nearly 650 years. The central area of Vienna used to be surrounded by a wall...since folks through their garbage and sewage on the street, it got pretty fragrent in the summer heat -- hence the need for a summer getaway. Lots to learn about Maria Therese, including that she had 16 children, one of them Marie Antoinnette.

Many more pictures to come!

That strudel looks so decadent! What is the riverboat like?

It's super nice. Really quiet, no motor sound at all. Plenty of hot water and water pressure in the shower. The food has been delicious! The carbs moratorium is definitely over!

It was! I'm going to try to make everything public... folks are struggling. :-)
