Spring has sprung in Wien!

This past weekend in Budapest was beaaaautiful... we didn’t need jackets!  When we returned to Vienna on Sunday, it was a little chillier.  However, Monday and Tuesday were the most beautiful days in Vienna so far!! Spring is right around the corner in Wien.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were a bit rainy, but hopefully that just means the flowers will begin to bloom sooner!

Around the corner from my apartment on Monday morning!


The Ringstraße on Monday morning!

The Naturhistorisches Museum.

Burgtor

The Rathaus.




The Swiss Gate



My Fin de Siécle Class went to the Sissi Museum in the Hofburg...
These are just a few of the dining ware the Hapsburg family used.

One of Kaiserin Elisabeth’s sets of travel silverware, obviously.

Her traveling dishes.

This is the dining room table in my apartment set up for breakfast...
Just kidding, its actually the table setting in the Hofburg.

A beaaautiful chamber pot.

Kaiserin Elisabeth’s baptismal outfit!


Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!  IES hosted a baking competition at Travel Shack and I WON!!! I baked a Sachertorte with my language buddy, Agnes, and her friend Jasmin.


The Winning Team!! Here I am with Agnes, Jasmin, and Kevin (a fellow IESer and Jasmin’s language buddy).
All in all, it was an awesome week.  I found out on Friday morning (veeeery early Friday, still Saint Patrick’s Day for me!) that I was accepted into the 5-Year Track at Fordham University Graduate School of Education!! WOOHOO!

Auf Wiedersehen for now!  Wish me luck on my upcoming midterms!
