Ahhhh Imperial Vienna, so close to my heart!
My favorite Schönbrunn Palace!

Classical music concert at the Palace Orangery where Mozart himself performed in 1786 in the Palace, what an experience.
Vienna 1999
Verona
April 1999
The town of Verona is famous for being the place of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
The balcony where Juliet cried, “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.“
Venice 1999
April 1999
Always love visiting Venice!
So many bridges!

St. Marks Square
St. Marks Basilica
We called it the “Friends Fountain”
Milan
April 1999
We flew into Milan from JFK and were very tired because no one slept as we were having so much fun on the flight.
The fabulous Duomo! What a beautiful sight. We went to museums and shopped our way through the city.
Lucerne 1991
May 1991
I fell in love with Lucerne the minute I saw it. It’s exactly what you think a Swiss city will look like. I love the medieval buildings, gorgeous lake and white capped Alps as the backdrop. Plus the fresh, crisp mountain air was exhilarating!
It really is a pretty city.
Our first exposure to traditional Swiss music and fondue!
Fun on the lake
View from my hotel balcony!
View in the other direction
A bunch of us on the mountain
Gabby and I are happy with our room!
We also got to see the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Switzerland and Europe!
London 1991

This was our last city in our trip and my 21st Birthday. The weather was pretty good and sun most days!
Birthday cheers and goodbyes.
Versailles

Paris

We had a lot of fun eating and shopping in Paris
You have to have a lot of pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The Mona Lisa at the Louvre was amazing to see in person albeit behind plexiglass
Cathedral Notre Dame
Arc de Triomphe
Night out at the Moulin Rouge
Nice & Cannes
June 1991
I love the French Riviera and Nice and Cannes were beautiful. We spent the day at the beach and having a delicious lunch on the beach. Then an afternoon of shopping and a visit to Grasse.
Ugh, our only picture at lunch has a big thumb in it!
Monaco
June 1991, Monte Carlo
I LOVE Monaco! It’s compact and easy to walk, it’s charming, gorgeous views of the Mediterranean, the Royal Palace, the Grand Prix and the Casino. We were lucky enough to be there during the Formula One Grand Orix!
The church where Princess Grace and Prince Ranier got married
The French Riviera
Headed out for the night in Monte Carlo, in front of the Royal Palace
