Rewind a bit, here’s photos from @NUTINBUTburNET. We got to see the royal horses, learn about crown jewels, & part of what makes Austria so great! The only major European country that didn’t rely on colonization to grow its name, wealth.

We learned that Austria is the home of RedBull, it’s headquarters in Salzburg, the next major city on pur trip.

Joseph II in the center of the square, known for many reforms around the country around the time of the French Revolution.
Abolished death penalties &
gingerbread — maybe not the best idea at the time because it helped to fight off some diseases! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023

Starting at Schloss Schönbrunn a palace of over 1440 rooms. No pictures inside which is a bit of a disappointment. ☹️

Nonetheless, we are all wowed by what we are learning about the history of Vienna and its empire.

Selfies provided by the students as we had some free time around the gardens surrounding the Schönnbrunn Palace.

And the girls are rocking it with @NUTINBUTburNET outside the Palace. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

My favorite spot, Taubenhaus!

German lesson on the bus with Emily, the best tour guide ever! She does personalized itineraries for each day, asking the students to complete a challenge!
