For some reason the text we entered with this post didn't save. I'll add quick captions now.
There was awesome pastry, cake, and ice cream everywhere. Hard to resist!
While we were in Salzburg, there was a stone carving competition.This is some more delicious cake and a linzer torte. Since we changed trains in Linz, we had to have some. And of course, cappuccino.
This was the Mirabell Palace garden.
The same garden. Scenes from Sound of Music (the Do Re Mi song) were filmed here.
More Sound of Music scenes.
Elliot eating his first pretzel (the inside fluffy part only). Needless to say, he loved it!
He also made friends with the waitress. She was his girlfriend by the end of dinner.
The Spanish Riding School horses in Vienna.
Schloss (palace) Schonbrunn.
It had enormous gardens.
We ate a lots of seemingly authentic Austrian food restaurants. This one was decorated like a hunting chalet.
I can't remember which church or palace this is at the moment. :)
A statue of Johann Strauss in the city park.
Emily eating the world-famous sacher torte at the Hotel Sacher. This was a definite must-do and part of the reason we chose to go to Vienna in the first place.
The blue Danube.
Dinner at the well-known Cafe Central. There was a live pianist playing show tunes on a Bosendorfer (that's for you, mom!).
Looks like a great trip so far - I love the Sound of Music pictures! :) Tell Emily that I miss her terribly (as do all the Advisory Council coordinators - ha!) ;-)
