Vienna is one of those grand old cities that's so beautiful and aloof it can't help but break your heart.

You can't turn around without bumping into history, so of course the city takes some liberty and makes fun of itself every once in a while.

What's crazy is that behind these balconies there are people just living their lives -- getting ready for work, raising children, watching television.

Unreal.

I love the sweets.

The street art (this poster is an advertising for a Romeo and Juliet production...what would Shakespeare say?)

It's truly a fairy tale city.

I love the look on my son's face when I told them that this? Is part of who they are.
