We arrived in Salzburg to a rainy 57 degrees, which was actually quite nice after some pretty warm days in Italy. This is one of the main streets of old town Salzburg – if you follow this path, you’ll run into the house where little Amadeus Mozart was born and grew up. You can just barely make out the surrounding mountains in this photo – the rain brought some mist and fog, which just added to the magical atmosphere.
The following day, we were scheduled for our “Official Sound of Music Tour” in the afternoon. We knew we wouldn’t get to all of the sites from the movie on the tour, so that morning, we made a few stops on our own. “What will this day be like…. I wonder….” We found the Horse Fountain, where Maria splashes as she starts her journey to meet Captain Von Trapp and his seven children – “heaven, bless them.” Here’s my reenactment:
It rained on and off that day, but we were very lucky to borrow the last 2 umbrellas at our hotel. They came in handy, and the rain certainly didn’t dampen our excitement.
