Austria continued




After visiting Ludwig's castles in Germany, we drove to Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart, and later the Von Trapp family lived. The centuries-old fortress on the top of the hill about killed me to climb up there, but was very interesting to see. Underneath it, is the "theater" where the Von Trapp's sang their last concert, but we didn't get to see it. We did get to drive by the Abbey and the Gazebo, and traveled a half hour to the cathedral where the wedding scene was filmed. The cathedral was beautiful, and at a restaurant there we had the best apple struedle with warm vanilla sauce ever!


















The country-side in Austria is absolutely beautiful, even when covered with snow.
