Vienna - Belvedere Palace

One of the most splendid pieces of Baroque architecture anywhere, is the Belvedere Palace. Created by architect Lucas von Hildebrandt, this masterpiece is actually two imposing palaces separated by a 17th century garden parterre.

My husband is a perv, and I love it. 
Oh you know... just stretching out a bit..

P.S. This place is even lovelier after consumption of a few liters of beer. Just sayin.

Vienna - Highlights

Oh how I wish we had more time to wander through the streets of Vienna... It's truly a gorgeous city, but what's even more memorable, are the people who populate it. These Austrian natives share a strong love of music, weakness for rich food, high regard for the arts, and a very strong sense of pride for their country. Here are just a few photos to highlight our brief stint in this beautiful city.
