Salzburg

It has rained all day again today.  Yesterday it rained all day but the temperature was mild. Today it felt really cold.

We got up, ate breakfast,  then headed out. I 

 had seen a sign for a flea market in Wals and thought it said it was today,  so we drove around to see. It is actually tomorrow,  but it is close by so we didn't spend any time at all looking for it.  Then, once again, we had to go to the mall so that Lonnie could buy more computer stuff.

We got to Salzburg only to find we had missed the alpenhorn. Actually, I am not sure they brought them since it was raining so hard. We went to lunch in a nearby pizzeria.  After we ate, we went to the Panorama Museum that I didn't get to go to yesterday.  They have a special exhibit right now about the von Trapp family. It tells the real story. They have things on display that belong to the family, as well as things from the books and movies. It was all very interesting. 

After the museum, we listened to the bands for a few more minutes, walked around Salzburg,  did some shopping and left.

We drove by the original hime that the von Trapps lived in,  but they have a very tall hedge around the place so you cannot see anything.

Next we drove past Helbrunn. I had hoped to have a picnic there,  because we normally do, but it has been too rainy.  We didn't even get  out of the car because we were both cold. It is a beautiful place.

We once again ate at our favorite place in Wals, went back to the hotel and got ready to leave,  then went to bed.
