The Hills Are Alive!!!






Hallo!




Well, Austria has been very interesting so far...at least Salzburg. A couple of things: One, people really love the Mozarts, and Two, people really love "The Sound of Music". Anywho, we arrived on Monday to this quaint place from an 8 hour train ride to figure out where we were staying...we were lucky enough to not only find a hostel at walking distance, but a very nice one at that. Tuesday we walked through the Old Town to see Mozart's birthplace and some of the 80 churches they have here. We also ventured up to the Fortress for a lovely overview of Salzburg.




Today we will be venturing into the capital, Vienna (Wien). There will be lots to do, so we will keep you posted! Auf Wiedersehen!

And so it begins!


Hi everyone!

I've arrived across the Pond to Milan and now to lovely Austria. Oddly enough, even without seeing or using my mad German skills for about three years, I've somehow acquired them all back...perhaps due to necessity. Anywho, I will be updating soon with pics as soon as I can..

Auf Wiedersehen!
