Vienna and Prague!

We had SUCH a great time on our vacation with Dave's parents in Vienna and Prague.  Dave made it even extra special for me by surprising me with a birthday gift of my dream camera!  I was having a blast using it in such picturesque places.  There were castles, beautiful architecture, and postcard scenery.  I wish I could make these into postcards.  I know some will go on my wall.

This is one of my favorites.  The bridge in Prague.

 

A village outside of Vienna.

I loved all the leading lines, arches, and cobblestone. Vienna was amazingly clean.

This was walking to our hotel.  More leading lines in the road and buildings.

Proof we were really there!

Fun times with Dave's parents

Same castle, different view.  I love the sky above.

We walked on this metal grate on the ground with a beautiful pattern

Some of the churches have an overwhelming amount of ornate gold and paintings

We enjoyed lunch in the Museum Cafe complete with marble walls and painted ceilings

Quite the cafe!

A beautiful site in Prague

The walking tour guide whizzed past these picturesque places so I had to snap it quick and run to catch up.

The food was delicious!  Who knew we liked Schnitzel?

This was one of many huge stained glass windows of a cathedreal

We saw the Swan Lake Ballet

I often see the same scene in different ways and can't decide what I like best

I loved the dramatic sky

There were buildings like this everywhere we looked
