My live is just becoming so exciting. Every weekend seems to be some great adventure, and the weeks are still full of learning (although University just started on Monday, so the weeks before were more or less filled with learning things about Bamberg, and possibly improving my German.)

My latest adventure… Salzburg. Austria

Oh, the hills are alive with the Sound of Music. I just wanted to sing that all weekend, and it was hard to refrain myself from doing so, but I thought that I would spare the world of my ‘wonderful’ singing voice.

I went to Salzburg with 4 other friends. 8:30am
we departed from Bamberg on the Regional Train in direction Austria. 3 other trains and 6 hours later we arrived in the Mozart city of Salzburg. By the way I went with two other Americans, Shawn and Priscilla, one Canadian, Angela and a Belgian, Liselot.

We were staying in this Youth Hostel that was
about a 5 minute walk from the inner city (great
location), and the first room that we were given was filled with windows. Yes, windows! We went back to the receptionist to explain that cuddling up with a few windows might not be the most comfortable thing to do after a night on the town. We were given another room that already had a few people staying there. We decided that our ‘roommates’ had to be American (we could tell by the sandals) and we named them Matt and Ben. Don’t ask, but it was great conversation, and kept us pretty entertained. The next morning, to our surprise, we hade three ‘roomies’ and two were girls (also from the states) who were up and out of there before the sun even rose (or it seemed so) and then the other ‘roomie’ was also from the states, and we were pretty far off from our original guess of names. Oh well, it was again great entertainment.

Other exciting moments in Salzburg

1. Molly getting soaking wet (we went to this ‘trick castle’ and I was told to sit at this table and not to worry because I wouldn’t get wet, oh, but I got drenched)
2. Priscilla’s ‘Jail Breaking’ moment
3. The coffee breaks
4. The Mozart Kugles

Shawn and me and the 'little pretzles people.'
