Vienna Day 1


We got to Vienna in the early evening. We wanted to get out since we had been in the car all day so we just took a walk around the neighborhood of our hotel. We stayed pretty near the city center at a Marriott called The Imperial Riding School.

The train station was right behind our hotel which might sound bad but it was great. Train stations in Europe are nice, like little malls. There was a grocery store in it too which was nice for us.


The neighborhood around our hotel had really pretty streets with these huge beautiful buildings. After walking for a bit we realized many of them were embassy's. We found embassy's for Germany, England, Iran, China, Italy.





The building on the far right was the British Embassy. There was a gate with a do not enter sign. Naomi opened it and started to enter and a guard started moving her direction. Ken got her and explained she couldn't go in and showed her the guard. Since then it's turned into one of the kids favorite anecdotes. When they tell the story now it usually sounds something like:

Julius:  Remember when Naomi almost went to jail?
Naomi:  Yeah! I opened the gate and there was a guard that almost took me away because I wasn't supposed to go in.
