Our first visit to Austria was amazingly beautiful! We enjoyed a walking tour of Salzburg where we learned about lots of interesting history, including Mozart's birth and life there. We also enjoyed the beautiful Salzburg cathedral (whose dome is pictured below).
The other fun part about Salzburg was visiting many filming locations of The Sound of Music. The first photo on this post is the hill in the opening scene where Maria (Julie Andrews) sings "The Hills Are Alive." Below is the actual gazebo where Liesl sings "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." (Some of the shots of the interior were re-filmed in Hollywood to make it look bigger inside, but this is the original one.)

The Salzburg photos are great. You know that's one of my favorite movies. I didn't know the gazebo actually existed. Neat! Tell your mom hey for me. :-)
