In And About In Vienna

Would you trust this man standing next to Ed?

"Burim" and Ed
We were approached by Burim within five minutes of leaving our hotel, which is right across the street from the Vienna State Opera.  "Would you like to go to a performance tomorrow (Tuesday) night?"  We were so naive at that point, we stood and talked with him for quite a while.  He did show us his license, student i.d., etc., and then took EU 84 from us!  As we walked away, we wondered if we had just been taken...

We then proceeded to walk around Vienna, checking out St. Stephen's Cathedral and of course I took pictures of the organs/pipes:

  


Too crowded in the City!  And it's a beautiful day, so we headed on the Metro to Shonbrunn Castle...





 













Once we got through the Palace, the next stop was the Vienna Zoo.  Wheat  a great zoo!!  Just two highlights here:

Nursing Porcupines!
Muddy Rhinoceros
