First Day with Dad in Vienna

Today we went to Schonnbrun (shoonbroon) with my dad. This is the first day he came. Whenever dad left he took the charger for the camera with him even though we still had the camera. So we could not load the pictures on to the blog. Sorry for the inconvenience. These are my parents standing in front of Schonnbrun. It is a palace in Vienna. It is bigger than what you see. It belonged to Queen Maria Theresa and her 17 children with Franz Joseph.

After lunch we went to the Prater. The Prater is the fair in Vienna and it lasts all year long. I love the Prater. Who doesn't? OK, back to the specifics. So first we went to the super top dance. Its a funhouse.

This is a picture of the RiesenRad. It is the oldest Ferris wheel in the world.

This is a picture of the cart. Our cart was number 5. It is really old. The carts are all made out of wood and you are allowed to smoke in there!!!??? That's crazy. Why would someone smoke that high in the air in something that is made out of wood, and you know doesn't fire burn wood.

This is Uncle Cyril and my dad in the cart. They would not smoke in there because they know what would happen. This is how we know you can smoke in it. Because you can have a fancy dinner or a luncheon, which is lunch, in the carts and there were ashtrays.

My dad is queen Maria Theresa and I am some blue mermaid. We are being crazy.

After that we went to the swings. The swings are little seats hanging by chains in the air connected to something sort of the shape of a merry go round but a lot bigger. They swing up into the air in circles, round and round and round and round, really high. They are awesome!!!

This was my favorite thing to eat in Vienna, weiner schnitzel. (veener snitsul) . It is like country fried steak but with veal. It is a baby cow and it is a lot better with lemon juice if you like it.

This was my dessert. It was chocolate cake, vanilla mousse, chocolate cake, fudge bar.
