Inspired by my early morning walk yesterday, I decided to take a walk this afternoon on the grounds of Schönbrunn palace. There are a ton of trails on top of the hill, and out of nowhere you find beautiful views of Vienna from various angles. The weather was warm today, and there were a ton of people walking or just sitting on the park benches in the sun. Today was definitely a day to spend some time outside and
enjoy one of the more quiet settings in the city. I am still in awe of the fact that this was all on the grounds of someone's "summer home." It kind of makes the 1 acre lot I had in Connecticut seem like a parking space at Walmart. Schönbrunn even has the world's oldest zoo (
Tiergarten Schönbrunn), founded in 1752. I didn't go in today, but after discovering the various walking trails and paths I am probably going to make this a regular
stop during good weather, so I will get there at some point. I'm a big animal lover, and they have some animals that you don't get to see at most zoos including panda bears and cheetahs. I noticed today that they are getting ready for Easter. There is apparently a huge Easter egg hunt on the grounds every year, but I think I will probably skip that chaos in favor of something else.

Can't believe you aren't going to the Easter Egg Hunt! After all, you are a student...right?
