Yesterday was devoted to "All Things Musical". I took a four-hour "Sound of Music" Tour in the morning. Do you recognize any of these scenes?
The Gazebo - although it has been relocated and is actually much smaller than the one used for the interior scenes.

From the back of the von Trapp house where the boating scene in which Julie Andrews and the children fell into the water. But, it actually is a different estate used only for the scenes shot looking away from the house. Still, pretty spectacular.

This is the church where the interior shots of the wedding scene occurred. The church is actually located outside of Salzburg in the Lakes Region.
I spent the afternoon visiting the house where Mozart was reared and was treated to an unexpected live performance of 5 of his piano compositions - ON A FORTEPIANO THAT MOZART ACTUALLY USED, BOTH FOR PRACTICE AND IN PERFORMANCES! This alone made the trip worthwhile.

Cool that you got to see the actual von Trapp house and heard from an actual piano that Mozart played. That does not happen in Norwood very often. Keep the updates coming!
