Austria!!

Wow this is such a beautiful country. Our favorite of the two cities was hands down Salzburg. We went on the Sound of Music tour today. A little pricey but worth every penny. It takes you all around the town to see all of the scenes that they use in the movie. Then there are a few scenes in the mountain region like the lake scenes and the scene where they are hanging in the trees. We didn't hang in the trees, we thought that we had better not. We did get pictures and eat at one of the oldest bakeries ever it was established in 1604 yes that is right 1604!! A very long time ago. It was absolutly beautiful the country side is unlike anything that you can imagine. There were hangliders traveling about, we were so jealous. If we had known about that we might have looked into it. Probably a better thing that we didn't, save a little money ha ha..

Yesterday we spent quite a while at the castle which is another really old building! The building was something like 900 if I remember correctly and it is huge! It ranges over 100,000 square feet! Gigantic! No joking about that either! It was a highlight for me. I really enjoyed not going to a Cathedral for a while. You can only go to so many before they start looking the same. Oh wait they do all look the same, ha ha just kidding. Actually Venice was very interesting with all of the gold. Very gothic, I didn't love it but some people do.

The fanzone with all of the drunken futball fanz are totally nuts! There are mobs of them everywhere here because the Euro cup is being held in Austria and Switzerland. It is nothing like the people in the US these fanz come in from all over the place! And the sure do have crazy pride. It isn't just a couple of die hard fanz there are like 100s. In Vienna there were so many people that they closed the Fanzone, it covers like a mile or two in radius. Can you imagine how many people were in there! Then people would crowd around outside the gates to watch the game too. We of the 100s that couln't get in. I wasn't sad though, I hate crowds!

Our next adventure is in Munich with Ellen and her family! We are so excited to see her. Maybe a little too much! ha ha.. It will be a nice break to have someone else to talk to then just eachother..

We wish all of the Fathers a happy Fathers day tomorrow! Love you all!!
