I'm in Salzburg!! To me, Salzburg will always be where the hills are alive, even if there are no hills here, only mountains, and Austrians don't really like The Sound of Music. The Salzburgans' other claim to fame is being the birthplace of Mozart.
I don't know what to say about Salzburg, I had elevated expectations because Yang raved about how beautiful it was and how she wants to live there. It was really too hot to like anything. Although it did have some cool things like the Festung Fortress - the best preserved fortress in Europe. It was...a little town on top of a hill. I listened to a Mozart 'Concert' here and had dinner here. Nearby, there was a palace with trick fountains - incredibly fun!
And as tacky as it sounds, I went on a The Sound of Music tour.
The vines under which Maria and the kids ran under during "Do Re Mi"
Standing on the steps at the end of "Do Re Mi"
The Pegasus fountain where Maria and the kids ran danced on during "Do Re Mi"
Mondsee Abbey where Maria and the Captain got married. It was sooo beautiful!
The gazebo where Liesl and Rauph sang "16 going on 17"
Last but not least...You gotta feel sorry for Austria
this is awesome! :P
