As we conclude our first day in Europe, the team is exhausted from the flight length, activities of the day, and from the time change from Culver to here in Austria. After catching our connecting flight in Frankfurt, Germany, we arrived in Vienna at 11:00 am local time and immediately began our experience in Central Europe. We dropped our bags at the hotel and began our day with a meal at a local authentic restaurant. We then began a walking tour to some of the city’s famous sites. The first that we visited was the St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The stunning Gothic architecture and breath taking scultures and other works of art made the Cathedral a spectacular way for us to begin our time in Austria.
We then continued our tour over to Prunksaal State Hall, the national library to learn the history of the statue in front as well as the significance of other aspects of the buildings design. We will tour the inside of the facility tomorrow.
