Enero 2010 (Vienna and Prague)

     After spending Christmas in Berlin, we shipped off to Vienna for a few days. Vienna was definitely our most laid-back part of the trip, which provided us sufficient time to rest between Christmas in frigid Berlin and New Year's Eve in Prague, a force not to be reckoned with.

Vienna (Dec. 26-Dec. 29)

The palace gardens.

Front of the palace, after they'd started breaking down the Christmas markets.

Erica, me and Jules on the grounds in the garden.

Inside one of many cathedrals we passed through.

Stephansplatz Cathedral in the center of Vienna.

Really cool housing project on the outskirts of the city.

Belvedere Museum, where we saw the largest collection of Klimt paintings in Austria.

The Viennese Opera House, where we saw The Nutcracker for 3 euro.

Prague (Dec. 29-Jan. 4)

Such a beautiful, unique city.

In the center, where they still had Christmas markets up and running!

Bird's eye view of Prague.

Astronomical clock in Prague's city center.

Done up before we experienced the rain and haziness that was New Year's Eve in Prague.

Fireworks on the water.

Happy New Year! :)

We found Maria!! Our friend from Ecija was in Prague for NYE, as well.
