Imperial Vienna

So here we are, Barb and I, carrying umbrellas above damp cobblestone streets in the massively ornate capital-ol — it's both an -al and -ol!! — city of the former Austro-Hungarian-Hapsburg Empire. Gotta figure out who were those Hapsburgs and why do we care? And when did Marie Theresia live, and why does it matter?!? Too jet-lagged to really care right now. Posting photos as soon as I figure out how.
