It was a really fun time. Vienna was about 5.5-6 hours train ride but fortunately I was able to sleep a lot and get some school work done! Once we were in Vienna I met up with Cherise and her parents we did dinner and then went to bed! The next day we started out adventure. We first went to the Albertine museum and saw lots of beautiful artwork! We got to see lots of work from Monet. Then we went to the Stephenson Cathedral. It was beautiful! When we first got there, a service was going on. So we decided to get a quick bite to eat and come back. When we came back we did an audio tour and then we got to go into the Catacombs (creepy). They had big jar type things that had organs preserved in alcohol. Back in time they used to bury the organs in one area and keep the body in another. We also saw where they burried lots of bodies together. It was kinda creepy seeing bones and skeletons all pilled up mumble jumbled. After seeing the Catacombs it makes me understand that I have reason not to step on sewer covers or any other random man hole. You never know what is under the ground you walk on. There could be catacombs and other things everywhere. After the catacombs we went to the top of one of the towers! Seriously we have to stop going up to these high places! I freak out every time and stay as close to the wall as possible!! People that like heights are NUTS!!
