Salzburg Austria

Having just bought a car, Emily and I decided to take a road trip to Salzburg for Thanksgiving break and meet up with another group from TASIS.
The winter scene outside our B and B room.

Great way to start the day.

It wasn't turkey and stuffing, but it was good.

One of the biggest tourist attractions in Salzburg is the Sound of Music Tour.
Lauren, we wish you could have joined us.

They are 16 going on 17.

The church in Mondsee where the wedding of Maria and the Baron was filmed.

Inside the church.

The Pegasus Fountain = Do-Re- try and find -Me

Nothing like hot Gluewine (spiced wine) when the cold starts to set in.

One of the many Christmas markets around town.

Goodies.
The fellas snuck off to the Augustiner beer house while the ladies shopped.
This guy is about to hammer the tap into the new keg old school style.

We headed to the top floor of this hotel for a drink and a great view of the old town.
Things got a little out of hand and I ended up accidentally throwing my glove off the roof while chucking a snowball into the river below.

No worries, I found it on the street 10 stories below.

Our last day Em and I headed to the lakes region for a beautiful view of Lake Wolfgang (Salzburg is Mozart's birthplace) and its surroundings.
Our new (1996) Opel Astra.
Just passing Innsbruck on our way to the Therme Baths in Vals Switzerland.
