Fourkidsmom-No we didn't go there, but surprisingly, we did see the road sign for it!! I think its a pretty small town, no?
Amy-We passed the Red Bull hanger while on the SOM tour, and I remember it distinctly b/c my hubby (who drinks red bull every day-me personally, eww...) said as we passed it-'I wish I was touring that right now instead of this.' That was into the 2nd hour of the SOM tour, with 2 more hours to go. lol. And I can't believe this, but we DID go to Carpe Diem! I guess its a believable coincidencce b/c its in a pretty main part of town. I didn't want to go there, b/c I'm more into the old-style restaurant. But my hubby was schnitzle'd out-so we had a lite lunch there. Good food. And yes, the break from sausages was nice. I didn't know Red Bull owned it-makes sense now, dur.
One of the coolest things we did in was Vienna-we saw the Lipizzaner horses. (for any who aren't familiar with them, they are very famous show stallions that do amazing foot maneuvers) Anyway, my great great uncle-which I think was around the late 1890s-was a master trainer of them. So when I mentioned that to the tour guide, she let me access the riding school's archives, and I found his name there. That was cool. It's funny, b/c I only learned of this ancestor a few years ago, meanwhile I have 7 horses, my cousin owns like 15 and is a trainer.
So is the love of horses genetic? Who knows-but I think so! The love of sound of music must be!!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">
