Day 22 v 2.0: Vienna, Austria

Vienna... Wow, what a land of beauty. Everywhere you turn, you see another stunning architectural feat. You could walk around lost (hypothetically, of course) and still run into half the sites you wanted to see for the day. On an unrelated note, bless Chicago's grid system.

Vienna... Holy smoking Hades, it was HOT today. Not to complain, mind you, but to compound the situation, yours truly only had long sleeves and pants (this error has since been rectified). Needless to say, we were roasting. Also, we decided to swing by a butterfly sanctuary, or as we like to call it, the butterfly steam room, which only added to our "natural glow." Positively, there's no better reason to grab a beer than to beat the heat, and I had my first Austrian beer on draft this afternoon. We also enjoyed refreshing mimosas and the original Sachet torte (chocolate cake) in true tourist fashion this afternoon.

There are way too many beauties to narrow down, so we have a few collages below. A few sites include: Museum Quartier, Parliament, Votive Church, Mozart Memorial, Opera House, Rathaus... We can't wait to dive deeper tomorrow!
