Arrived in Salzburg this morning. Amazing views of the Alps and the area surrounding Salzburg. Look carefully at the picture below and you can just barely make out Julie Andrews singing and dancing in the hills at the upper left.

Approaching Salzburg

The Hohensalzburg Fortress, a dominant feature of the town's landscape, is directly outside the entrance to the house I'm staying at.

View directly outside house

Shortly after I arrived at the house, a town-wide festival (I assume in my honor) began immediately beyond the back yard of the house - traditional costumes, music, and food.  Great fun!
