Seeing some sights...

While we were away we had the privilege of taking some time for some sight seeing. Here are a select few pictures from the thousands of pictures that I took over the month (I'm not kidding about the thousands!). These pictures are from our time in Vienna, Austria; and Sopron, Hungary, the little town that the conference was held.

We had the kids navigate us through Vienna to find City Hall, and here is one of my favorite pictures of Andrew, Jenny, and Kt.

We also went to two palaces...Belvedere Palace, which was Prince Eugene of Savoy's Summer home; and Schonbrunn Palace, which was Maria Theresa's summer home. Vienna was the place to be in the summer!
To the right are the Juniors standing in front of Belvedere Palace;

Since our group was so large, each of the leaders were assigned 2-3 students to keep track of while we were traveling. I had Karl, Andrew, and Lexi, aka My Duckies!



Thursday afternoon of the conference we had a break, so the whole team took the bus into Downtown Sopron, a quaint little town. The area of Western Hungary was a province of the Roman Empire. Its forum was located where the main square of Sopron is found today.

We all walked together to the square where the Fire Tower (Pictured to the left) and City Hall are located, and then split into smaller groups to walk around the city.

There are remnants of Roman Ruins in the city. Here's a picture of Andrew, Jenny and Karl sitting on a Roman ruin wall.

We had fun wandering around the town...I love this picture! haha!
