You Asked, We Answered

Alright, it was actually just our parents who requested more photos, but here you are: photos that didn't make the first cut.

Prague

The St. Charles Bridge. If you're not familiar, look up INXS's Love Will Never Tear Us Apart on YouTube, and you'll understand why Ross chose to serenade me/all of Prague with this every time we strolled across.



Josefov (Jewish Quarter)'s famous cemetery


Frank Gehry's Dancing Houses





Stare Mesto's Main Square



Kraków (pronounced Krakov)


Sometimes I couldn't tell what year it was.


Moments after this photo was taken, Ross spit this treat out of his mouth, and threw it all in the garbage, claiming it was the worst thing he's ever tasted.

I'm not sure it was the worst thing I've ever tasted, but it might have been the saltiest.


I couldn't believe this girl was laughing and not crying.


A Trabant, the car of the Communist era. We saw many of these around Kraków, and many, many more in Budapest.


That tiny orange car is parked on the sidewalk.


What bars are called in Poland:


An art store:


A hostel with a sense of humour:



Budapest
(pronounced Buda-pesht). Budapest is actually two cities on each side of the Danube River, Buda and Pest. In the late 1800s, they joined to become the capital of Hungary.

Ross & I and a huge Soviet soldier

Ice Skating


The man behind the magic.



We are so cliché.


Buda castle.



Vienna

Candy houses


Bagette + sausage = Eurodog



Ross can't resist a beer with good typography.


Ross & Berton enjoying Vienna at it's best: in a coffee house.



In Austria at New Year's, pigs are symbols of good luck.


Ross & Berton & a big red dot.


The end.

We probably aren't going to post anything else about our holiday because there's just too much to say.
