Good morning! It's 3:19 a.m. back at home, and we're up getting ready to go to Vienna's Schonbrunn Palace (a hot spot for tourists since 1860!). God's blessed us with another day of sunshine, which seems pretty essential to a fun day taking in the palace and its gardens. This is my first ever trip to a palace, so I couldn't be more excited, and Sal says he never gets sick of seeing this kind of thing.
So with two bars of Swiss chocolate in our packs, 1 banana, 1 slice of bread and a little butter we'll soon be off! By the way, the cheap chocolate here is even amazing - we are loving Europe!
I have SO much to say to catch up on all the amazing cities and sights we've been seeing, but I guess it's good and it's bad that we really haven't had time to write much at all. Since my last entry we've been on the go every or every other day, from Copenhagen to Berlin (which we LOVED!), Berlin to Dresden (where we attended a German church service on a week day!), Dresden to Prague (We both say Prague is far more grand and romantic than any city we've ever seen, far more so than Paris which is known for such grandeur), and since yesterday afternoon Vienna! Mozart chocolates, Mozart puppets, Mozart impersonators, Mozart everywhere! What a neat city with so many things we all have heard of to claim as its own -- even the waltz! Who knew.
Yesterday was rainy, and we weren't blown away by the architecture in downtown Vienna, although we did see St. Stephen's Chapel (built in the 1300s), which was stunning. The roof is incredibly interesting looking! This city is large and sprawling, so we couldn't get a great taste for it in the few hours that we had, but today we hope to see much more. I'd like to see those hills from the Sound of Music, so if they're out there (if it wasn't filmed in Napa or something!) I'll snap some pics.
In the mean time, please enjoy a few pics below from our journeys thus far! Much love and mising you all dearly,
Jill and Sal!

| Don't try this at home! Dried fish is loveable only to those who grew up with it in Iceland I guess hehe :) What a strong smelling snack!! |
