Day one in Vienna was amazing! The city is wonderful, full of history, design, and an incredible, lively daily life. The love of dance, music, and food is all around. As soon as I stepped off the plane, everything felt right. We started with a wonderful walking tour, learning about Vienna's history from the days of the emperor to WWII. The fun part that really immersed me in the culture was when the tour guide took us to try different food, drinks, and a music festival-type event, which showed us how people live in Vienna. After the amazing tour, we went to Prater Amusement Park to ride one of the oldest Ferris wheels. We ended the night with a delicious dinner at a beer garden and an organ concert at a cathedral in the city center. It was an incredible first day! I cannot wait to see what the rest of the trip will bring.
