We arrived back from Croatia with very little trouble. All of us were happy and spent from an unbelievable beach weekend. Monday morning class came a little too quickly but with some wine and gelato from Café de l’Europa in Stephensplatz we all survived.

Tuesday- we had a short visit to Saint Peter’s Church right next to Stephensplatz after class and a concert later that evening. The concert was for the bands Team H-Town and Astronautilis. One of the advisors for our school facility (IES Abroad) is a rapper for Team H-Town and invited us to come watch their show.

The weekend was a class planned field trip with the entire group of 30 students, our professor and some of the IES Abroad advisors. We would be going to Geneva, Switzerland to see CERN (the European Center for Nuclear Research), take a lake Geneva Tour, and visit the United Nations.

Before we took off that afternoon we had a visit to the Schonnbrun Palace in Venna where Maria Theresa and the imperial Hapsburg family lived. The 1,441 room Baroque palace is home to beautiful furniture, art, royal family relics, and many more treasures. Also on the grounds are acres and acres of gorgeous hunting ground-turned gardens and an exotic zoo. We only had a few hours to explore before we needed to pack up and leave for Geneva. This was unfortunate for one could spend days exploring and learning on the Schonbrunn grounds and still never tire of all the beautiful scenery outside and interior decorations on the inside.
