I'm studying abroad in Wiener Neustadt, Austria about 30 minutes from Vienna from February until March. School is rough, but when I can I try to get out to experience as much of Europe as possible. Posting pictures is easier than writing a whole lot, but I'll try to do a little of both... full info

Creation of Man - Sistine ChapelRegardless of whether or not you are Catholic (I'm not) the Sistine Chapel shouldn't be missed.

Trevi FountainCoolest place to sit and enjoy a drink with friends in Rome at night ... tough to get a good picture of it... I'll be putting a few together when I get back to make a good one
