We made it to Vienna yesterday morning, and immediately loved it. The city center is great, with the Stephansdom (cathedral) right in the middle of everything. We visited the Hofburg (imperial palace) for a few hours yesterday, seeing the royal apartments there, the silver collection, and learning abuot Sisi, the Habsburg empress Elizabeth. It was well worth the money.
Last night we saw a concert at a building at the Schonbrunn palace. The price was a bit steep, but it was fun (and appropriate to hear Mozart and Strauss pieces in Vienna).
The weather is so hot here (in the mid30s to 40). We're taking it easy today, just to be able to recover, since the heat wears you right out. We'll be spending the bulk of the afternoon back at Schonbrunn, in the massive park there.
Tonight we leave for Zurich, and we'll be spending the day tomorrow on and off trains throughout Switzerland, before we take another train tomorrow night to PARIS!
By the way, Matt, we are consistently still doing the Alias visualization technique you taught us for each city. It's pretty fun!

Sounds like a great time. It may be hard to stay in McAdam after this!! Actually, it will probably be nice to start out in your new home. Glad to hear you are both well. We leave the end of August for our big adventure. We'll keep up to date with email and blogging.
