Cript of the Hapsburgs

The other day I went to the Hapsburg royal cript. Almost all the dead Hapsburgs are burried there. The Hapsburgs ruled a part of Europe for along time. There were dozens of coffins and all were decorated with skulls, angels, and pictures of battles. The Hapsburg symbol (below) is a double headed eagle with two crowns. Maria Theresia and her husband, Francis of Lorrain are burried there and they have a huge double coffin!

Cafe, cafe, cafe!!!!!

          In vienna there are lots of cafes. Some good, some bad, and some very very wierd. Cafe Blue Orange is a great bagel cafe. Good coffee, great bagels and Ben and Jerry's ice cream. There i had a Melange coffee, which is supposed to be weak but mine had expresso in it.YUM! Cant wait to go back there. Cafe Mozart: fancy, expensive, bad coffee. The cat caffee: this caffee is true to its name, there are five resident cats, and the whole place revolves around them. They climb on the shelfs on the wall,theres toys to play with them, lots of soft places to sleep, and you can order treats for them! This is a picture of thomas. I hope i get to explore more cafes while im here and ill be sure to post about them!

Soft, white, frozen H2O

           It snows in Vienna... A LOT! Every other day its snow, snow, snow. It was very magical at first but the last few days its been annoying until today... today the snow stuck and we got five inches of soft white frozen H2O... we did the only thing that you should do on a snow day (we being my sister,my mom,and I). We went sledding! We went to the park and found a big hill and down we went!!! We also managed to discover the best thing ever! We call it... The Bike Sled! It was found in the house basement where we like to play ping-pong.  It was soooooooooo fast! You can see it on the top. Or the bottom depending on the size of your right nostril.
