Sound of Music tour. We learned that the Austrians don't like it because it isn't true to the story of the Von Trapp family. Hollywood took a few liberties. We took a bus tour and saw some of the places where filming was done. We went to the lakes district, which is quite beautiful. Our tour guide had the Sound of Music sound track playing so we could sing along. The best part was the Mirabel Gardens where a lot of the shots from the Do-Re-Mi song were filmed. We have decided to stay in Salzburg an extra day and are going to a Mozart dinner and concert this evening. Therefore, we are not going to Vienna. We have found out that Europe Soccer championships are taking place in Austria and Switzerland and prices here will be going up on the weekend. One of the first games is in Vienna on the weekend, so we will want to get out of Austria and go to Germany. The weather has been cloudy and a bit rainy, but we are having a good time anyway.

Know you are missed!! I'm glad you are enjoying yourselves and I don't mean to rush you, but just curious how long you are planning to be gone?
