Vienna 1999

April 1999

Ahhhh Imperial Vienna, so close to my heart!

My favorite Schönbrunn Palace!

Stefansdom

Classical music concert at the Palace Orangery where Mozart himself performed in 1786 in the Palace, what an experience.

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!

And gondola rides

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

June 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.

Paris

June 1991

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
