Biking Around

Today, Dr. Barr and I had a super fun day riding a bicycle around the city of Vienna. We got to see so many amazing sites, but first you must see how adorable I look on the bicycle. 
Our first stop was at the Danube River, which is the 2nd longest river in Europe. 
From the bridge we could see a huge church called, "St. Francis of Assisi Church." It is also known as the Mexico Church. 
We also stopped by a church called, "The Jesuit Church," which was build between 1623 and 1627. Can you see the dome in the ceiling?
Dr. Barr thought it was a dome, but it is not! It is an optical illusion done with paint to make you think there is a dome!
We then passed by the Austrian Parliament building. This is where elected officials meet to make laws to help the citizens of Austria.
The next set of buildings are very different from the parliament building. The Hundertwasser House has lots of unique colors and shaped windows. 
Dr. Barr was quick to notice the name of this cafe. It's a little hard to read. 
Café Mozart!

We finished our trip with a picture of Horst, our very helpful tour guide. I let him hold me because he said he was a fan!
After our tour around the city, I had a yummy meal with Dr. Barr and her friends. 
It was such a busy day that I got  into my pajamas, had Dr. Barr read me a story and sing me a song, and went to sleep. I'm not sure where we are going tomorrow, but Dr. Barr is super excited!

  1. You 2 look SO cute! That bike tour looks like lots of fun. I'd like that too, but then I also like to look from up high. I'll bet it looks different up high!

  2. I hope those bikes were electric…we saw one of those optical illusion cathedral ceilings in Italy. Europe is full of artists.

  3. I love the optical illusion dome! I'm in awe of people who are so talented that they can paint like that! The biking looked fun,and I'll bet you enjoyed meeting a fan so far from home. Dr. Barr and you are seeing such beautiful sights! I'm glad she sang you a song to help you sleep. She's very thoughtful!
