My Germany Adventure: Salzburg, Austria!

Hey everyone! This weekend we went to Salzburg, Austria! It was absolutely breathtaking! Our train left at about 6 Saturday morning and we got there around noon. We checked into our hostile and then decided to do a map tour of Salzburg. We walked into a lot of neat little shops. I bought a shot glass (which I buy everywhere I go) and a beautiful glass blown ring! We then walked up to the fort (I don't know how people did it when they didn't have paved roads.. That hike is no joke!) and did a tour. The fort was like a little city! It was amazing to see and to look at the displays they had of how the fort progressed over the years. It's amazing at what could be done with the lack of technology they had when the fort was built. The top of the fort gave us an amazing view of the city! The mountains were gorgeous and we were there on a fabulous day! All three of us didn't have to wear jackets! We were thrilled by this. We then walked around some more and found the beer house and I had schnitzel to go and we ate by the river. It was amazing. We then went back and hunt out at our hostile and played cards. The next morning, we went and found Mozart's house and walked around some more so that we could see some of the things we had missed. We found a very dangerous playground that was fun to play on! We then went to our train for our ride back home. On one of the trains, there was family with about an 8-10 year old girl. This is where the culture shock came into play for me. Her "papa" sent her to the bar to buy him a beer.. And they let her!!! I was so surprised to see this little girl come back with a beer! It was great to see because they didn't think of it as being a big deal. It's how this culture is!
Here are some pictures from my weekend. More are on facebook of course!
