Vienna!

I took a weekend trip to Vienna with my friend Haley, where we met up with some of her friends from all over the world.  They were from France, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland Israel, and Austria (of course).  I thought it was pretty fascinating because everyone was able to communicate to one another by speaking English since everyone had learned it in school.  Haley and I were the only ones with English as our first language. 


The group! :)
The Austrians took us around the "tourist route" so that we could see all of the famous buildings. 



I thought it was really funny how Austrian cops wore berets, so I saw a group of (cute) cops and asked if I could take a picture with them! ...I also made them take their hats out of their pockets and wear them for me :D


The day of departure I wanted to see even more of Vienna, so I woke up early and met up with Sascha who took me to see Schönbrunn Palace!

You could see the entire city of Vienna at the top of the hill near the Gloriette!


After learning German in Germany, it was an awesome experience to practice it in another country with an entirely different accent.
