"The place is amazing. Don't you think?" my sister asked. We start today by going to the Scönburg Palace this is the summer palace for the residence of Handsburg. We see the places where Mozart performed his first act at the age of six. They say he jumped into Maria's lap and gave her a kiss. We also found out about her 16 children (11 girls, 5 boys). We saw there family portrait. Next we get lunch and listen to a jazz concert. We then walk back to the hotel i...
