Anjali—a lot of fun to be with.
REFLECTIONS
Anjali. It's nice to read my simple comments all of these years later that remind me of the pleasure of doing things with a wonderful friend (or more than a friend.) That's what being young is all about. If you're young, enjoy your relationships and treat everyone with the respect that they deserve and the repsect you would want for yourself. And, if you want to remember those times, keep a journal and take some pictures.
When you visit Vienna, take a tour of the Hofburg complex that includes seeing some of the interior. The immensity of the buildings, incredible ornate interior rooms, and grounds is amazing.
DK guides. There is a great diagram of the Hofburg Complex found in DK Eyewitness Travel Guides: Vienna, pp. 96–97. (Note, when I reference a DK Eyewitness Travel Guide page, I will enter a "tag" as DK Vienna, or DK Austria to indicate the reference to the book.)
When visiting Vienna, you can’t help but imagine the expansive power and influence of the Austro-Hungarian empire as you enter the incredible Hofburg Complex through the Heldenplatz and look upon the massive Neue Burg.
Vienna—what history, what a city.
