A day in Vienna!

WARNING: They are a lot of post that follow this about our trip, sorry about all the pictures and post!:)
So on our way to Prague, we flew from S.F. to London and then we were supposed to go to Vienna and then transfer to another flight and go to Prague. Well, we had a 8 hour layover in London. We tried to sleep in the COLD airport and read while we waited. Once we were on our plane, we sat on the tarmac for ever. We ended up not making our connecting flight to Prague from Vienna. It turned out to be a GREAT thing. The airline (Austrian Air, definitely use if you are planning on going this direction, great food!):), ended up putting us up in a hotel in downtown Vienna, paying our taxi, and paying for our meals. It was awesome. Our flight ended up leaving at 6 the next day, so we had an entire day in Vienna. It was great!!!
Here was the hotel that we stayed at. It was super nice! I ate Wiener Schnitzel. I don't know if I would again, but I did:). The food was great though!! They had these yummy little individual pack gummy bears. I wanted to grab a handful but I resited!:)
We just walked around and did our best to see as much of Vienna in a day as we could. It was such a fun city. There was a Burger King there, yuck, but I could read the sign:)
We went and saw these stallions. It was AWESOME. They were amazing animals. They were literally skipping to the music, I could not believe it. We had to make our flight so we could not see the show, we were able to just see the practice, but it was still totally worth it and cool!
Yep, that's right!:)
This was just a cute little street we went down.
Ok, so maybe totally inappropriate, but come on read the sign and tell me that you don't think it is funny. (Steve, I know that it means something normal, but we were sure laughing when we saw it!:))

Wow Em, what a sweet trip you guys took! What made you decide Prague? I've heard it is such a neat city-one of my roommates spent some time there. Anyway, I loved looking at your pictures! And I have to echo Jordan-you look so good and your hair is awesome in pretty much every picture. Wish we lived closer and I saw you once in a while!
