Some pictures of Vienna!

Here are some pictures I took of Vienna and the surroundings:

The U-Bahn (subway) station at Krottenbachstrasse

The Art History Museum near Heldenplatz

One of the many street performers (this one is dressed like Mozart and hummed tunes).

A biker near the Danube Canal; biking is a popular form of transportation in Vienna

A statue outside of the palace in Heldenplatz

Hallo!

Greetings from Vienna!  I am new to blogging, in general, but I would like to say thank you to all of the donors that made it possible for me to come to Europe.  I never imagined that I would be here, and the experience has definitely made an impact on my life thus far;  I have been able to see how others see and experience the world.

So far, we took many tours of the city (I plan on uploading the pictures soon!).  I have seen the main sights of Vienna, including the Stephansplatz (a large church), the Prater (a carnival on the outskirts of the city), and the Heldenplatz (which is a section of the city that has a palace, opera, and other buildings that are all joined together).

I very lucky to be here, and I plan on updating this blog as much as possible throughout the semester.  Thanks to all, once again, for making this trip possible!
