Drove to Vienna today.
Were able to see St. Stepehen Cathedral, Belvedere Palace, Ring Boulevard, Hofburg Palace and a view of the Prater amesement park, but only from the seats of the bus.
We did make a short stop at St. Stepehn Cathedral early in the day and continued with the bus tour.
I could have spent another day in Vienna; I judge we did not reap our full money's worth this day. Father Gary and some of our group took the underground down to St. Stephen Cathedral for a Vigil Mass. Another group -- me included -- walked four blocks to a local church for the Vigil Mass. (We all knew we would be airborne for the U. S. on Sunday.) Our group then stopped at a local cafe for supper. Once again -- Excellent food!!
I will try to find some pictures of Vienna. I really could have stayed there at least another day. Really didn't see that much except from the seats of a bus.
God bless you all for bearing with me and my tardiness in finishing this thread.
Wow! I just noted that I finished this travelogue a year ago today. I will post some highlights to Pyro’s thread about St. Maximillian Kolbe today.
