I snapped a couple pictures of the Lipizzaner stallions, at the Spanish Riding School, before they announced no photos please! We watched them practicing (in the stable with chandeliers and classical music playing!) but they only do their full performances on the week-ends. They are born black and then gradually turn gray and then white - just like us! - only they do it in about 8 years!

We spent the rest of the day wandering around Vienna. It doesn't take long for one of the cafes to lure us in for cappuccinos and pastries, where we sit and people watch! Shopping was limited because all the stores in the main square are "high end!" We had lunch at a fantastic Greek sandwich stand in the local food marketplace. I bought a bag with a picture by the famous Vienna artist Gustav Klimt who is known for his work using gold leaf.
