Vienna Day Two - Happy New Year!

Spent the day wandering around the beautiful city of Vienna. We went to St. Stephen's Cathedral which is the must see of Vienna. It was breathtaking and haunting. From there we went to the Museum Quarter to the Leopold Art Museum. We studied the art and quietly made fun of all the snotty art critics! Saw works from artists like Renoir, Monet, and Van Gogh. We went to another museum looking for the Salvador Dali exhibit but it had moved. The woman working at the information desk could not tell us where it was now located so we will search around during the next day or two and see if we can locate it.

Tonight, New Year's Eve is what really topped it off. We went down to the Prater (giant ferris wheel) which was the end of the famous New Year's Eve Trail - the big party scene - and drank in a pub until nearly midnight. From there we took our champagne outside, and waltzed to Mozart directly under the most amazing fireworks display while the clock counted down to midnight. We wouldn't believe it could have been so perfect if we hadn't experienced it ourselves!

On that note, we want to wish those we love the most, health and happiness for 2006!
