A few days in Vienna

Since last week's weather in Paris was nowhere near what Summer weather should be, my parents decided to surprise me with a trip to Vienna, Austria.

We walked a lot, ate pastries from Vienna's famous Konditoreis, drank Austrian white wine and had a great time. It would have been the perfect trip had my husband been there. Knowing him and his love of museums and culture, he would have enjoyed our little Austrian holiday.
