The group visited Vienna Austria for a three night trip exploring the city, opera and beautiful palaces this weekend. Some of the highlights included Schloss Belvedere with gardens, museums and a beautiful exhibit from Maria Theresa’s collections. We also enjoyed venturing to local cafes for conversation, and visiting the many museums ranging from natural history to contemporary art.
The first two pictures are of two beautiful churches in Vienna. The first is from the Baroque era and is the Jesuit Catholic Church. The next is a Gothic revival Catholic church called Votivkirche. Picture credits Michael McClurg.
