A Day in Salzburg

On our trip to Austria, we had the opportunity to spend a day in Salzburg--a little over an hour by bus from the city we were staying in, Saalfelden.  Salzburg was wonderful.  Although many Austrians do not seem overly excited about "The Sound of Music," for many of us Americans, Salzburg is known to us as the city where the film is set.

Just walking around the city was a lot of fun.

The view overlooking Salzburg was beautiful. 

Victoria has this cute face she does.

As I mentioned above, we enjoyed seeing a view of the sites from the Sound of Music.  Here we are at the Nonnberg Abbey, where Maria was a novitiate.

And here we are at the Abbey reenacting the famous scene where the Von Trapp children come to see Maria!

In Salzburg, we stopped by the house were Mozart lived.

 Goodbye Salzburg. The hills are alive!
