Austria - what can I say? I was totally overwhelmed by the beauty of this little country! Being in Salzburg, we also got to enjoy a taste of a "quaint little town." Austria is known for its music and Salzburg is at the heart of it all. So no matter where we went, music was in the air. This is a picture of The Old City.....where Salzburg began.
Mozart's Gerburtshaus or birthplace. I've played many (and I mean MANY!) of his concertos for piano recitals. These folks are very proud of their "hometown boy" and celebrate his life with his music.
We were even greeted with a little parade.
The cathedral - in the heart of the Old City.
Hohensalzburg Fortress. Built in the 1100's on a sheer cliff. I cannot even imagine how it was built!
Looking down the River Salzbach. That's the Mozart footbridge....very famous in the movie, "The Sound of Music." Maria and the children danced across this bridge while singing "Do-Re-Mi".
