| Today we wandered around the Hapsburg Palace complex of Vienna. Amongst the various buildings (which are now national libraries and museums), we found the Schatzkammer, which houses the Austrian Crown Jewels and various ecclesiastic treasures. The picture above is a sample of what we saw. |
 |
| We also stumbled upon the Rathaus (town hall), which was architecturally lovely and beautifully decorated with red flowers. |

| St. Peter's, a beautifully baroque church, holds a special place in our hearts: in addition to being the oldest continuous community in Austria (since the Roman times), it was a welcome shelter from the rain this afternoon. Despite the rain, we were able to hear Mass in German (it was the feast of the Assumption) and have our first honest-to-goodness great meal in quite some time...yay! |
