Pictures of Vienna

This is the view of the amusement park that I went to.

 

This is the view of Vienna from the top of the Ferris Wheel

This is little Stephanie, one of my host half sisters

The world famous Strauss statue

The Stephensdom

The inside of St. Peters kirche (church)

This church was built to commemorate the time when Emperor Franz Joseph survived an assassination attempt

This is a statue of the Empress Elizabeth, wife of Franz Joseph, better known as Sissy

This is the Austrian Parliament building. It was built to look like the original Greek Parthenon, both in style and structure

When the Austrian Parliament was bombed during WWII they took out the main meeting room, and it was rebuilt to look like this.

 

Originally, both meeting rooms looked like this, but now this one (which survived the war) is only used for special meetings

Inside the Stephensdom

The Emperess Maria Theresa, mother of Franz Joseph.

All the Canadians in front of Schonbrunn, the summer palace.

I hope you like all of the pictures, and I might put a few more up some other time.
