Salzburg City Tour and Berchtesgaden

Today we went on a city tour of Salzburg. It is nestled between the Alps of Austria and Germany and is a very beautiful city. We saw several places where scenes from the Sound of Music were filmed... you know I took some cheesy photos! :) I was finally able to get a few souvenirs! Lucky for some of yous! After the tour we went up into the Alps to Hitler's summer retreat home that his men built for him for his 50th birthday (sorry I couldn't build one for my folks!) It is over 6000 feet high and it was still mostly covered with snow! It was really cool to see! The views from up there are just amazing to see. Tomorrow we are going to Munich where we will be spending 5 days. Until next time...
