Fall Break. Part 2 - Salzburg

Salzburg was my next stop for my fall break. It was a cute city, full of green hills, distant mountains, and smiling Austrians. It's known for the fact that Mozart was born and lived there for about 25 years, and the Von Trapp family and their famous singing talent of course. Also another interesting fact, it was the American center of occupation in Austria during WWII. Again the Wiki has more info for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzburg

The Hostel I stayed in there was cute, and colorful, they play "The Sound of Music" was played ever night at 8pm. The city center is green and beautiful. The birth house of Mozart was sadly disapointing. They tried to make it into something high modern art, but it just comes off as cheesey, though the house he lived in for most of his time in Salzburg is much better. It was fun to look around and see all the places that were used in the filmming of Sound of Music, they used all of the historic center. Sadly the large fountain they sing infront of in the movie was under constrauction when I was there, but in most of my pictures you will see famous places of the movie.
