Guest post by Theresa!

Those of us who went to Vienna for the weekend had an absolute blast! We visited three art museums and saw many pieces by outstanding artists like Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Ai WeiWei, and more! We toured St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Viennese Opera House, and two imperial castles (Hofburg and Schönbrunn), and we overlooked the city from the top of a Ferris wheel (Wiener Reisenrad) that was constructed in 1897. Our trip wouldn’t have been complete without eating lots of schnitzel and drinking coffee in Viennese cafes with a giant slice of Sachertorte, or the Austrian specialty chocolate cake with apricot filling that was first created in Vienna! 🙂
