Run In With Royalty





The museums, palaces, and culture in Vienna were absolutely breath taking. I don't think that I have ever been in a palace before. The tour of the Vienna Hofburg apartments was probably my favorite place. The Hapsburgs were definitely living large!! Their apartments were unbelievable. The sad history of the queen was intriguing. I'm not even sure if I can put it all into words but to have all that wealth and to be so unhappy was very difficult to understand. Well, at least from my perspective. While viewing the articles that royalty used I was in awe. From the elaborate dinner settings to the "chamber pots" that were by our standards quite nice. Maybe I should have been born a royal.
