I went with my friend, Irina to Salzburg, Austria. This little town is right on the border with Germany and is famous because it is where Mozart was born and the Sound of Music was filmed here (if you haven't seen it yet, please watch it! and if you have, I'm sure you are humming a tune from the film right now). It was a great day trip! It was just a 2 hour train ride from Munich. And this is where we went...
Maribell Schloss is a beautiful castle in the city with an incredibly well kept garden.
We had to trek up quite a flight of stairs to see this beautiful view of the city. Behind my right shoulder is the Festung Hohensalzburg (the Salzburg Fortress) and on the other side is the Alps.
This is the house Mozart was born in. I was a little disappointed with the museum inside though. Apparently the Mozart family did not have a good relationship with the town people. But the child prodigy has a great story. I don't know how he could handle all of the pressure.
Singing with the Von Trapps :) NBD

The view from the other side of the fortress of the Apls.
The sun was too bright so I couldn't get too great of a picture of the mountains.
Salzburg Dom (city center church) beautiful inside and out.
I hope I get to see more of Austria! I also hope this blog inspires a sing a long movie night like we had at the Holick house. One of my very fond memories (and photo shoots) from last year at A&M. But actualy being in Salzburg makes me understand why there is always a good time to sing a cheery song :) It's a beautiful place.
