And uploading videos and pictures.... First, the picture of Beethoven and Schubert's graves, with Mozart's monument, which is where the best concert of the Zombie Apocalypse will take place.
Then, Demel, Vienna's most unreal confectionary. You MUST visit this place! The sugar and cocoa they must consume here...
Mozart's birth house. I don't think the people who own it are trying to cash in on it, do you?
The Stiftskeller St. Peter, the oldest operating restaurant in central Europe, which was first mentioned in literature when discussing a visit by Charlemagne, in 803 AD. That would be, um, 1205 years ago.
Elise took a glorious picture of a sunset over Salzburg from a rooftop bar.
Someone took a picture of us on the same rooftop.
On the Sound of Music tour, I took a picture of Elise taking a picture of the good Captain von Trapp's house, which happens to be owned by Harvard University.
On the hill overlooking Salzburg's old town is a huge fortress; Elise took this picture of me there, and to the left of my hand, you can make out the "von Trapp house".
This picture, Elise took, and called it "the world's largest pot pie." Hah. It happens to be the baptismal font in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized. I knew this; she did not. Who's the religious one here?
This was a shot of the string quintet last night. A movie of them singing "our song" will be forthcoming.
Internet access on the train. So civilized.

I asked a German roommate of my friend who was from Mannheim if they sold drinks called "Mannheim Steamrollers" in his hometown... he didn't get it, but he told me he'd never heard of one. Talk about a missed opportunity!
