Do as the Romans do...or at least try to: Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna

The next stop was Vienna. As food being one of my primary motives for anything, the first thing we did was eat. Bratwursts and cakes galore. I think this is the city where I ate and drank my weight in sausages and beer. Joe's lovely and delightful aunt is a longtime residence of this magical city. While we were visiting, she was kind enough to take us to the hills above Vienna for a breathtaking view of the city and the Danube River. From there we went for some authentic Viennese cuisine. So authentic I had no idea what the menu said, but we ended up with Wiener Schnitzel. It was like a five-star version of chicken fried steak. My mother would have been so proud. To continue on the topic of food, I had tasted the most delicious combination of beer possible in the Viennesse drink the Radler, a beer and lemonade delight. Sounds iffy, but trust me it's amazing. The next day was an action packed day. We walked around the city from 9 to 7 seeing everything possible. We started Freud museum, and meandered to the Rathaus, the Burgtheater, Stephansdom, the Vienna Opera House, Mozart's house, and the beautiful Schonbrunn palace. We decided since we experienced all of Vienna culturally it was necessary to experience its nightlife as well. It was an interesting night to say the least. Our final day was spent at Pratar riding the oldest ferris wheel and with Joe's aunt at her favorite restaurant. After losing track of time the Viennese residents witnessed us sprinting to make our bus to the airport. It was definitely something you would see on the Amazing Race.
