Day 4

Day 4 (1/22):
The 22nd was Sunday!  Julia and I were asked the day before to do a musical number in sacrament meeting so we walked into Relief Society a few minutes late (Julia wanted to warm up), but it didn't really matter anyways, since we can't actually understand what they're talking about.
I think we managed to figure out that the lesson was about a general conference talk.
Our church experience was wonderful.
I could still feel the same spirit during sacrament meeting, and everyone loved our musical number.  I really appreciated it when everyone came to us afterwards and told us that our musical number really brought the spirit into the meeting.  Sometimes I get caught up on just the technical aspects of the music, so I love it when people let me know how they felt about a musical number.

This is the Karl Marx hof.  Apparently, it was designed by a pupil of Otto Wagner.



















































After church (and after Julia's nap), we took a short walk to Hofburg.  Yes, we are a 15 minute walk from a Hapsburg palace :)





































After a quick walk through the grounds, we gravitated towards the Volksgarten, and then the beautiful Rathaus.





















I think these are rose bushes?


These next pictures are of the Rathaus, the city hall.
This building is amazingly beautiful, and we took too much fun taking a million pictures.  Here are just a select few……









































































































































































































































































































I'm sorry that there are so many pictures.  Trust me, this is only like a third of all the pictures we took.



Afterwards, we saw a church in the distance, so we walked over there.

A cool table in the Sigmund Freud park, right by the Votivkirche.

After our adventure we had no idea where we were, but we wandered a bit a found a U-Bahn stop, and we just hopped on!


Ich liebe die U-Bahn.  Yup.



More for later!
