Sorry for not updating until now, we have just been busy sightseeing and planning what to do next! So--We both had downloaded a Rick Steves walking tour of Vienna, which we decided to do prior to our food tour. It was another really good overview of the city. I think it took us about 90 minutes or so to finish. Our food tour involved tasting Viennese coffee and a pastry, a street food hot dog, some fresh bread from a local bakery, open face sandwiches and some ...

We traveled most of the day yesterday to get from Prague to Vienna. We caught a train that went about 100mph on average, and the trip still took almost 5 hours. The train station in Vienna is really nice, and we were able to catch the subway that took us right to the apartment--saved a lot of money since we didn't have to use a taxi! Our host met us right out by the door, and showed us the place. We unpacked and went to the grocery store that was right across th...

Our last day in Prague was spent doing a Rick Steve's audio guided walk. We started off in Wenceslas Square and meandered all around New Town and then Old Town. The walk took us to some of the off the beaten trail sights, which we both enjoyed. I think it lasted about 3 hours. Once we finished, we decided to visit the Mexican food place one last time that was nearby. It was great! We got back to the apartment and began getting ready to leave for Vienna.

A visit to a museum to see some epic paintings of the history of the Slav people was on my wish list for today. I figured out how to get us there, and away we went. When we arrived, I told Rich to make sure the exhibit was still there before we bought our tickets...and it wasn't. What a HUGE disappointment!! Plan B was a trip to the Prague Zoo. The weather was absolutely perfect for this, and apparently half of Prague thought so, too! The bus that took us to the...

We finally got our Mexican food itch scratched!! Our food guide had given us the name of a place that she swore had great Mexican food, and she didn't steer us wrong! Tortilla chips and some of the best guacamole I've ever eaten!! They don't do ground beef here for some reason, so I opted for chicken tacos. They weren't quite what I was expecting or hoping for, but they were still delicious. Rich had enchiladas and although they weren't what you'd get in Texas, t...
