Salzburg II

First and foremost - holy moley, Jeff! I'm surprised I didn't hear that shirt all the way here in Europe. It's so... eccentric. Awesome, man.



After that shirt, my day doesn't look as fun. This morning I went on Salzburg's world famous "Sound of Music Tour". Haha. Believe me, if you come to Salzburg, you probably won't be able to avoid the ads for it. Originally, I wasn't planning on going. I hadn't seen The Sound of Music in ages, and now that I think about it, I don't know if I've seen the entire thing. But I was talking to my mom and she said I should try to go to various tours and what not, to really be able to see a city and know what you're looking at rather than seeing it on my own. She said I should go on this one for the hell of it.



So I did and it was actually pretty interesting. Salzburg and the surrounding towns have such picturesque scenery with lakes and beautiful green hills, I was actually glad I went because if I were on my own, I wouldn't have seen it. And now if I ever watch that movie again, I'll have been to some of the spots in it.



After the tour I explored the Salzburg fortress thing (I forget the name). It was pretty cool, but again, another beautiful 360-degree view of surrounding areas, all the way to the Alps.



Tomorrow I leave for Zurich to meet up with Blake, an Australian that my family and I met on our tour. From there we'll be heading off to the last weekend of Oktoberfest. I'm pretty excited about the beer festival. I've heard so many fun stories about it and I'm looking forward to it. Anyhow, I'll get going now. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye.
