In my spare time, I have a (bad?) habit of looking up interesting facts. This is partly related to the off-chance I ever find myself on a game show, but 99.9% of the time it is for my own enjoyment. Lately, these searches have revolved around my upcoming trip. What started as an idea to find & list places to see while I am there, turned into a history lesson when I discovered the Empress.
Her story is absolutely fascinating.
I've probably spent a total of 6 hours in the last few days reading about her and her family...for fun.

What's even cooler is that her summer palace and hunting lodge are in my district...I have no words that would be able to appropriately display to you the level of my excitement.

| Schönbrunn Palace. Beautiful, yea? |
So if I didn't already make it obvious...
I am probably the biggest history nerd you will ever meet ;)
