German Visitors

First off, I'd like to thank all of those that haven't forgotten me just because I've been gone for a year. I really found out who my true friends are: they are the ones that wrote to me while I was gone, or sent me emails, or responded to messages. There are also those that didn't so much as write one sentence to me on facebook. But that's okay-I have enough wonderful people in my life :)

Now back to my German Visitors:
2 of my German friends came to visit: Marianne and Tobi. I was so happy that they had taken the time to come and see me, and I couldn't wait to show them around Salzburg. On Saturday morning I met Tobi and his friend, Bjorn, at about 10am. First we went to Getreidegasse, and then to the Dom. A walk up to the Festung (Fortress) quickly followed. After that we took a carriage ride through the Altstadt (old town), which made me think of Sound of Music, since they ride through Salzburg on a carriage in one of the scenes in the film. Then it was up to Kapuzinerberg for another beautiful view of the city, and we ended our tour by walking through Mirabell Gardens.

We met up with Marianne later, and in the evening we all went out for cocktails on this little boat turned bar that is out on the river. I had literaly the most delicious cocktail ever, and then we called it a night.

Yesterday was an even longer day. It rained nearly the entire day, which made it a perfect museum day. And we were in luck: yesterday was Tag der Museen (day of the museums), and we definitely took advantage of it: we went to 4 of them. After that we went on a hike up Kapuzinerberg. My legs were killing me by the end, but it was worth it to get a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains. In the evening we went out for cake, and today at 9am, we said our goodbyes.

It was a great weekend. Thanks for the visit guys!

Love, Molly
