Best Trip Ever--Day Three

Around Town
We have a lot of pictures from this trip of Jon (posing because I am making him be in ANOTHER picture) and self portrait shots. This is the downside of traveling with only two people. (Especially when one of those two is obsessed with taking pictures.)
In the morning we started at the law school to finish up some business I had there. Then we walked passed the main Vienna University building, the Votiv Kirche and Rathaus again and then through the Volksgarten (people's garden.)

Museums
We visited the Natural History Museum (the art history museum was closed that day, so we had to miss it.) It was interesting and we had a good time goofing around with all the "stuffed animals." We also saw a Picasso exhibit at the Albertina museum and had picnic in the Burggarten.

Butterfly Reserve
Next to the Burggarten is a butterfly reserve. It was small, but beautiful and the butterflies loved Jon. It is basically an atrium with walkways, a waterfall and plants. The butterflies are free and flying all over.

Reisenrad
That night we took a ride on Vienna's famous Reisenrad. It was one of the earliest Ferris wheels to be built (1897) for Emperor Franz Josef. The wheel is about 200 feet in diameter. It originally had 30 gondolas, but it was damaged by fire in WWII and only 15 were replaced. It is a slow ride, but a great way to get a view of the city...
