"How clever of you," my dad laughs at my new trick. We are listening to Rick Steve's Auto Tour of Salzburg, Austria, and I just have discovered a way to access pictures on his tour.
We walked across a bridge named after Mozart. It was used in the sound of music during the song Do Re Mi.
Next we visit Mozartplatz which houses a statue of Mozart himself. it was originally was called Michaelsplatz, because it had a statue of St. Mitchael before it was replaced with the famous composer Mozart.
We then visit a amazing fountain in the residenzplatz. It may not be as fun as the trick, but it is just as wonderful.
Next we march to the Cathedral, a church first built by St. Virgil and adjustments were made by St. Rupert, but was burned down after 60 years of usage by a lightening strike. It was rebuilt and destroyed multiple more times in the path of history. The most recent destruction of the building was after it was bombed during WWII. It was repaired in 1959.
Next, we visit St. Peter's graveyard. Here we so the person who followed Mozart as composer in the church's grave. We also learn about the the extraordinary catacombs.
We follow this up, by visiting the festival concert halls, where concerts began in the 1920's to cheer people up after WWI.
We next visit the open produce market. Here my sister enjoys a wonderfully, juicy, delightful peach. We thought about buying lunch here and having a picnic later, but it was just too hot!
We then, visit the Getredegasse. This street is the oldest and most important shopping street. In fact, the most famous son of Salzburg, Mozart, was born on this street. It is the most visited city on this street. The way of identifying what each store sells is by looking up at iron signs with paintings vs. words.
After lunch, my sister and I walk into Mozart's birthplace. From this building we are able to gather much information on Mozart's life and career from the writing, objects, and object description.
We also listen to classical music that is beautiful.
After visiting European parks a have one thing to say, American parks are horrible.
