A Little Bit of Vienna


Wednesday night, the interns had the opportunity to go to Vienna, Austria. It was absolutely beautiful!
It was chilly and rainy most of the trip, but the cool air was refreshing compared to the hot weather we have been experiencing.
We got to see the Vienna Palace. This building has a balcony where Hitler gave a famous speech. We saw St. Stephens cathedral and St. Charles' cathedral. We also enjoyed Starbucks, which was a nice taste of home. Starbucks always look similar inside no matter where you are in the world.

I got to attend a Monet and Picasso art exhibit at the Albatina as well. This exhibit was SO amazing. I think this made the experience for me. Vienna was the seat of the Austro-Hungarian empire and has been marinating in rich history for hundreds of years. Getting to experience the architecture and culture there was really fun. :)
