The hills are alive...

We drove down to Salzburg from Munich for a day. It was beautiful driving through the Alps and seeing all the snow. In Salzburg, we hiked up to the fortress on the mountain and were treated to an amazing view of the city. Throughout the day there were bands from surrounding countries parading through the town. It’s an interesting experience to be standing in Austria and hearing a Switzerland band play American music. We ate pizza at an Irish pub for lunch. It’s the only Irish pub we’ve ever been to that did not sell chips. I don’t even think they had fish. They did, however, have beans on toast, so there was a little bit of an Irish influence there. Mozart was born in Salzburg, and they have lots of shops selling chocolate with his picture on it. I haven’t quite figured out the connection there, but would be glad to hear from anyone who can explain how Mozart relates to sweets.
