Salzburg

Tuesday we took a day trip to Salzburg, a beautiful, picturesque city. Just two problems: it rained off and on all day and it was very crowded due to a festival in town. We had a delightful guide on the bus named Uta and we really enjoyed her accent and her delightful attitude. I will share more about her the next time I post. Salzburg is the birth place of Mozart and we heard some beautiful music from musicians there. There was a beautiful Christmas shop with hundreds of decorated eggs. I will post pictures when I return home. On the way to Salzburg we passed many farms on beautiful rolling country. Uta said that a large farm would have only 30 cows. Most of the farm houses are connected to the stable.....bet the aroma is something else in that homes! In the country the ladies still wear the dirndal dresses and have everyday and dressier ones for church. We did see a few in them in Salzburg. We learned that Salzburg is famous for having dreary, drizzly days most of the year so I guess we saw typical weather while there. It was delightful...would like to return one day when less crowded.
