Hannah and i arrived in salzberg this afternoon...and it is quickly becoming one of our favorite places so far. It is beautiful here. We are loving it and weve only been here for 5 hours.
We found a dirt cheap curry place for dinner, (we do dirt cheap food to leave a hefty budget for gelatto. lol. lets just say that while we were in berlin, the food to ice cream budget was not exactly even. we had a haagen das cafe 2 minutes from our hostel. We spent every evening there...)
Anyways...weve just been wandering through the street tonight...which look exactly like they do in the sound of music (which is played every night at our hostel...its on in the background right now...), the place has not changed. I dont think there is a bad part of town either...usually the train stations arent in a very nice area weve noticed...but here even the station area is beautiful.
Salzberg is surrounded by mountains on pretty much all sides from what i can see, covered in greeen grass and trees, and there is a river running through the city. if you want to know what area of town were in...if you watch the sound of music, when maria and the kids are going through salzberg singing doe a deer, at one point they stop on this road with a stone wall behind it, and there is a large white castle behind them up on a hill, we are on the direct other side of that hill and castle. when we leave our hostel, we can look up and see it. Its awesome. Hopefully we can get some pictures up soon!!
Tomorrow we are going to take the sound of music tour, and see all the sights of the city that are in the movie. Hannah and i will also, possibly reinact the movie...becuase we can. haha. it should be loads of fun!!! (we'll see of the others on the bus feel that way as well. lol)
Mozarts house is also here...im pretty excited about that too...we walked past it tonight, hopefully we can go in it tomorrow.
anyways, thats pretty much the update. we are here tonight and tomorrow night, and then we head for bolzano italy that next morning...and from there venice!!!
its so hard to believe that today we entered our 5th country!!! (sadly you dont get stamps in your passport if you cross via train, becuase all of these counrties are in the european union.) i think the fact that i am actually on this trip is finally sinking in...i cant believe im in Salzberg!!!

Man, I can't believe you are in the actual place where our favorite musical took place!!! Im so excited about that!!! I wish I was going on that tour with you...can you imagine the three of us Sound of Music freaks on the tour bus together...I predict that we could clear the bus in record time!! HA!! I encourage you with all my heart to reinact the whole movie!!! Do it for ME!!! You are my hero Becky Cooper! Don't let the squares get you down...burst forth into song! I love you :)
