Today we wandered over to Naschmarkt, Vienna's public market place, before taking the subway to Schoenbrunn Palace. Above is just one of the many interesting buildings you find in Vienna.
Naschmarkt makes Seattle's Pike Place Market look small. It is a wonderful place to just walk through, even if you aren't looking for food items. There are also lots of great looking restaurants.
Schoenbrunn Palace was the summer palace for the Hofburg royal family. That dynasty, of course, ended with WWI, but the palace grounds remain. It is very similar in size and scope to Versailles in France.
Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed inside the palace. The grounds are huge, with lots of outside opportunities for pictures. Fall is in the air, and the grounds keepers were starting to remove the flowers.
This is our final posting. It was a great trip, but we are anxious to get home.
