Salzburg, Austria

We woke up in Salzburg on Tuesday ready to explore but not really sure what we were going to see. We knew this was the home of Mozart (well, not anymore, hes dead) and partial filming of the Sound of Music but we didn't really expect to love the area as much as we did.

It was really just the setting that was amazing. The city is set between the mountains with a fortress overlooking it. A river runs right through the middle of the city and sort separates the old town from the new town. This has been typical of these European cities. I guess it's similar to being on the other side of the tracks in America.

We walked around the old part and enjoyed the atmosphere. We saw a horse drawn carriage driven by a man with a great Austrian moustache, walked in the ticket booth of the 2009 European museum of the year, and looked around Mozarts home for as long as we could until someone asked us for our tickets.


At Mozarts home LA also took in the garden and I stole some fruit.




The best part was taking in the scenery. On the way to the train station we walked down a bank and sat by the river for a couple hours. It was that amazing we wanted to just enjoy it.
