Salzburg

Salzburg is famous for the birth place of Morzart and the Sound of Music (did you know the Von Trapp family actually existed?!) . And you can understand how the city inspired such creativity with its postcard beauty. From the river you can see a number of churches with their domes and spires. In the background is a large castle on the hill which I visited. Finally, it is all nestled in a mountain valley.

I visited one of Mozart's family homes were I learned that he and his family travelled constantly around Europe to show off the talent of their little musician. Sort of related to this travelling myself...unfortunately i cannot play an instrument to impress the masses.

The Schloss Mirabell gardens were beautiful with their roses, statues, and fountains.

No, I did not go on the Sound of Music Tour.
