Exploring Vienna

We have been exploring some parts of Vienna over the last few days. The other day we decided to go exploring, so we took the train to Karlsplatz, which is right by the Opera house. We just started walking around and stumbled upon the Belvedere, which is a huge palace! There are botanical gardens that are going to be beautiful in the summer, lots of fountains, and a huge lawn. Then two days ago we went to the Hofburg, one of the main palaces in the city. We went to a museum there that contains a lot of the royal treasury. There was an emerald as big as your fist and a relic of a nail from Jesus' cross. Then yesterday we went to the Nachmarkt, a big open air market in the middle of Vienna. There is a food section and a flea market section. We stuck by the food section, but they had dried fruits, fresh vegetables, sausages, cheeses, anything you could think of basically. It was really interesting and we're actually going back tomorrow to buy things (we just looked yesterday.) Overall, I'm having a great time! We're going to Graz on Saturday to explore there, which should be exciting. I miss you all!
