Wien
In and around Austria
Each semester our entire group takes a field trip together. This semester our destination was Vienna, Austria, spelled and pronounced Wien in German. We left Tuesday, October 17th and returned on Saturday, October 21st. Though initially hestitant about spending five days in Vienna, knowing that the Florence group was going to Sicily and the London group to Greece, we all ended up pleasantly surprised and had a wonderful time! Vienna is a city of rich history, class, and a certain perspective of realism and enjoyment.
