Day 6:

Salzburg--Our day in Salzburg was beautiful, in terms of weather. Sunny, warm. and clear. We started with a walking tour to see some of the places where Sound of Music was filmed. Interestingly enough, Julie Andrews was there LAST week. Oh well. See if you recognize this from the movie.

The old part of Salzburg was reached by crossing the Salz River (Salz means salt--named because of the salt mines in this area,) As on the great wall, the bridge is covered with locks. When a couple is getting married, they add a lock and through the key in the river.

We toured Mozart's birthplace, and entered the Cathedral while the two organists were rehearsing. Then we shopped...unfortunately we did not attend a harpsichord concert that occurred. Some of the group did and said it was wonderful--oh well.
