Salzburg

The hills were alive with the sound of music and I experienced it first hand!

Salzburg is beautiful. I went with a group of nine other girls, we took the train out Friday morning and came back late Saturday night. When we first got there, a few of us went on the Sound of Music Tour that showed us the filming locations in Salzburg. We saw the gazebo, the house, the lake and the best part was going to see the Austrian countryside. The driver took us out to a little town called Moonsee and it was one of the cutest towns I have ever been in. Each building was a different color and they were all unique, I could definitley live there, but not right now. That night we met new people. A girl named Kelly from New York, and two guys. Chris from Seattle and Micheal from Australia. They were all really nice so we hung out and walked around the city for a while. The next morning we tried to climb up the hill to see the fortress but we had to pay to get in, so I climbed up past the trail and found a great spot to take pictures. After that we went down into the city where the St Rupert Festival and an a river side art fair was going on. My friend Heather and I went shopping for the rest of the day and warmed up by getting hot cocoa in a cafe. We caught a train at 19:08 that night and had a compartment to ourselves like the ones in Harry Potter. It was dark outside and all of a sudden the train stopped. We all got quiet and my friend Michael (a girl) says "There better not be any dementors around here!" It was really funny, but spooky at the same time. Luckily the train started up again and we all kept our souls... yes I know, I'm a nerd. Overall the weekend was very relaxing, I can't wait for my next adventure!
