The Grellmanns Part 4 - Salzburg

One day, we took a day trip to Salzburg, Austria. This trip did not include Nathan, which ended up reverting us back to "The Grellmanns". Dad, Mom, Shera and Merissa. It also meant that we had colorful emotions that day trying to decide what we wanted to do.

First we went on a walking tour of the downtown area. We saw Mozart's birthplace, some churches, cute alleyways and the outdoor concert hall. After this, it was the girls vs. Dad. Insert some heated discussion, a storming off by one party member, a peacemaker compromising and then we cordially parted ways. My father hiked up to see the medieval fortress, while the rest of us sought out some Sound of Music locations, a different view of the city and finally decided to stop for coffee and ice cream in an old café. Everyone was happy.

Mom was SO happy about her ice cream. Merissa and I got amazingly delicious coffee. Austrians KNOW how to do coffee. Thanks to the Ottoman Empire.

Since it was before Easter, there were eggs EVERYWHRE. The Germans/Austrians (they'll hate me for lumping them together like that) love Easter and decorating eggs. It's this tradition that is taken very seriously by decorators. Here are some pictures of an egg store where you can buy the intricately decorated eggs. Hey, why make your own when you can buy PERFECT ones? Germans love perfect.



End of the day, and back to Munich.
