The Hills Are Alive...

...with the Sound of Music!
A trip to Salzburg wouldn't be complete without a Sound of Music Tour.  Our first stop was the lake and backyard of the von Trapp home.

We drove through the Lake District that was shown at the beginning of the movie.  The view of Wolfgangsee Lake was absolutely breathtaking!

The Mondsee Cathedral

The inside of the Mondsee Cathedral was used for the Captain and Maria's wedding.

When we got back to Salzburg, we spent some more time walking around the old town. Here is St. Peter's Monastery.

 The von Trapp family hid from the German soldiers in the St. Peter's graveyard.

 Walking up the hill to Nonnberg Abbey, we stopped for a picture with the Salzburg Cathedral in the background.

 On our way back through the old town we came across a little market selling Chris' ALL TIME FAVORITE beer, Stiegl. 

Staying true to his marathon training, drinking no alcohol, Chris enjoyed the aroma of his favorite beer.  I was a supportive wife and...

 ...drank it for him! :)

 Our dinner spot was the largest beer garden in Salzburg, the Augustiner. It was a beautiful summer evening (and the day before a national holiday) so all the prime garden spots were taken.  We enjoyed our wursts inside the beer hall.
