Day 4 - Vienna (part 2)




We went to Prater Amusement park today, just so we could ride one of Vienna's landmarks- the world's oldest ferris wheel.












As you can see, Nat loved it.



It also had a merry-go-round... with actual horses.



After that, we went to see the Vienna Boys' Choir. Amazing concert! They performed songs from various composers... the second half was all Moazrt.




Here's a video clip:



For dinner, we went to an actual AUSTRIAN restaurant! Now everyone can stop complaining. It was a fancy restaurant in one of the museums. Nat had wiener schnitzel, and I had paprika chicken. They were both delicious! Sorry, no pictures... we were being fancy.

Please let me know if the hills are REALLY alive with the sound of music.

No pictures of the fancy food??? Nat, did you take a pill before you went on the big old ferris wheel? Looks a little scary .. nice, but scary. We're really enjoying being on the trip with you! Be sure to ask the Von Trapps if you can sing with them. We'll send a video clip if they want the whole Paisley Family Singers! Have fun! Love, us :)
