One item on Chris' "Bucket List" was to see the theater where the von Trapp family performed in the Salzburg Festival Choral Competition. Wednesday afternoon we took a tour of the Festival Hall. It was once a quarry and then a horse riding arena.
Here is the front atrium:

The famous stage (currently being used by another production).
After our theater tour we went up to Hohensalzburg Fortress and had some impressive views of the city below.
Camden and Emma got to play with a marionette.
A fair maiden and her brave knight.
Walking around outside the fortress.
We found a speciality pretzel stand in a market in old town. Emma and Camden's chocolate pretzel was more of a chocolate donut. I was in cheese heaven.
I have to say as a life long soft pretzel connoisseur, Austria's pretzels are superior to Germany's.
One last look at old town Salzburg.
Chris had a mission on his Wednesday morning run: find the Stiegl brewery so he could buy some beer. We headed back there for dinner in their beer garden.
We will be hosting a party in mid-November (after the NYC Marathon). Can you guess what we'll be serving? ;)
