Hello from Salzburg. We are in our hotel, the Hohenstaufen Hotel (or something like that). We took the train from Vienna to Salzburg on Friday, checked into our little hotel (a different one with a fantastic Balkan restaurant) and walked around the Old Town portion of Salzburg. A very walkable town with quaint streets, grand courtyards and spectacular views all around. It is in a river valley surrounded by mountains. Awesome place. We had dinner in the Balkan restaurant and it was a highlight meal so far. Particularly our desert: Salzburger Nockerl (google it and hope I spelled it correctly).
Saturday we toured the Salzburg fortress. It is a fantastic middle age and newer fortress overlooking the city. You will all have to wait to see some of our pictures because I forgot the cell phone today. After the fortress we walked the top of the mountain to a great little cafe for a lunch overlooking town (with nothing else nearby). We then walked around down town and found our new hotel for the night. After another lovely dinner and a stroll through the Mirabell gardens it was time to head back to the hotel. Now it is time for a blog entry.
I think our picture count is at 1300. I may need a new harddrive just for the photos when I get home. "Catch ya'll later" as they say in Salzburg (if they are American tourists from Texas anyway).

Did the waiters at that resturant have those funny looking pointy ears? And I suppose they flashed that silly little hand signal too.
