| There were many "street" actors dressed up as Mozart and other famous Vienesse people, hoping for a tourist to drop a euro or two in the can for a picture with or to shake thier hand. This golden Mozart man kept asking Mike about "Salt Lake City" and the Olympics from 2002. So funny! |
 |
| This was too cute! It was so fun to see how my parents took care of each other. We walked pretty much everywhere and it was so adorable to see them hold hands. |
 |
| This is the famous "Opera Toilet" located under the Vienna Opera House. It usually costs about 50 cents to use a public restroom, but even under construction it costs 1 Euro (about $1.40) to use this toilet. Yikes! |

| One more stop at a bakery for lunch and then we headed on a train for their hometown of Graz, Austria |
