Vienna at a first glance

I've been in Vienna for about five hours now and I absolutely love this city. The architecture is more than I could have imagined and I've only seen it at night so far!

Mom and I found our apartment that we rented and it is outstanding. Huge bedroom, chandelier in the living room, small balconies overlooking St. Stephens Chuch, etc. I've already decided that I want to move in here.

After finally tearing ourselves away from the great apt (many photos were taken of it, no worry), Mom and I decided to wander the neighborhood. We started with a traditional Austrian hot dog filled with cheese stuffed into a roll. We took are dinner on the road and went out to explore. In great travel fashion we got mildly lost and ended up at the Hopsburg Palace. You're not really lost if you are at a palace are you?

I love this city. It is monday night at 11pm and people are still wandering the streets and sitting in the squares. Parents with little kids, older couple, teenagers...everyone is just enjoying life.

Exhaustion is finally starting to set in so I'm off to bed. Day one was a success!
