Christine at Hogwarts 

Travel Pics

I posted a ton of pictures from our travels in Paris, Rome, and Vienna. To see them in order, scroll down to the picture of Christine eating an orange, and then work your way up. The later photos are at the top. Enjoy!

Some sort of coffee bong 

Our second day in Vienna, we decided to visit a coffee museum that we had read about in a guidebook. This is it. The whole museum was a backroom at a coffee shop. Christine's face in this picture says it all. I thought it was fun, though, and the cafe had really good coffee, as most cafes in Vienna do. 

A red panda 

Emperor penguins. These things are huge! 

A pair of meerkats 

Apparently the lemurs' shift is over, and the all walk single file inside 

A lemur. All MST3K fans sing along, "Joey the Lemur, a friend to mankind..." 

A koala. Isn't he schnuggly? 

An anteater, moments before nature called 

I'm not sure what kind of lizard this is, but it posed for a great picture, so I took it 

A couple of Iguana's. This zoo had the most active reptiles I've ever seen. The habitats were huge and beautiful, and the animals actually seemed to enjoy being there. 

A reef inside the aquarium 

A very large crocodile 

Flamingos fighting outside the aquarium 

We took another sleeper train to Vienna. We decided to visit the Schonbrunn Zoo, the oldest zoo in the world. This is the entrance to the park

Final shot of Palatine Hill. It would have been nice to see at a time when we could enjoy it instead of rushing past it to find some lasagna (which was delicious; we finally found a place) 

More of Palatine Hill. At this point we are ready to draw straws to see which one of us gets eaten. 

Ooh, that's nice. Man, I'm hungry. 

All of the following pictures are of Palatine Hill, one of the most beautiful paces in the world. We stumbled upon it while trying to find a place to eat. 

An arch seen from the Colloseum 

A stray cat who lives outside the Colloseum and stalks pigeons 

Christine and I in the Colloseum 

The floor of the Colloseum has been removed, and you can see where the gladiators and animals waited before "performing" 

Our second day in Rome we visited the Colloseum
