Salzburg

I got to spend my spring break with in London with Anna who is currently spending a year at the London School of Economics. But before I really saw London, we spent a weekend in Salzburg, Austria, which really means one thing.... Sound of Music!!

Anna in front of the Festung (fortress), which we then climbed up to. It's a steep walk...

View from the top of the fortress of the mountains
View of Salzburg. Notice all of the churches. There are 35 of them in the city.
Anna and I on top of the Fortress
The house where Mozart was born
Streets of Salzburg
Commence the Sound of Music tour... Anna and I with the back of the Von Trapp house in the background. It's not their real house.
In front of the gazebo, which used to be in the backyard of the above house, but was moved after all of the visitors caused too much of a disturbance. It's also locked because so many people hurt themselves trying to leap from bench to bench a la Liesl.
Front of the Von Trapp house from afar. It's behind the trees. And looks much more yellow than it does in the movie.
The trees that the Von Trapp kids were climbing. Anna and I tried unsuccessfully to climb them.

Then I ate strudel at a famous strudelhouse across the street. It was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I also tried grog, which is by far the most disgusting thing I've ever drank. It was like warm orange nail polish remover. I wish I was kidding...
Do-Re-Mi park in the dark. It was locked by the time we got there so we could only take pictures through the gate.
And a giant pretzel in a beer hall before we left.
