Salzburg Day One

This was my first day in Salzburg. I went to the Mirabelle Gardens while the sun was still shining, which was nice. Then I went up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress, but by then it started getting cold and windy. After that, the best part of my trip started which was when I met up with my host, Peter-Paul.

I got in contact with him through Couch Surfing.com. He was the BEST! In fact, now that I'm going to be hosting people too, I feel intimidated by the example he set. I could not possibly be as good a host as he was. I started reading more about the history of Füssen so I can be about 1% as knowledgable as he is about Salzburg. He was a fountain of fascinating information! Every step was filled with another fun fact. He thought I was bored with it, but no way! It was the best way to see the city. I saw and learned about so much in that one afternoon. It was outstanding. I feel completely satisfied with my entire experience in Salzburg. There's no better way to travel!

The following photos were from the first day, so the captions are scarce because I didn't have the benefit of Peter-Paul's company, but the next entry will hopefully be a bit better. We'll see how much I can remember.

I did it again! I found a bunch more photos from Nörvenich! Some of my favorites!

Day Fifteen: September 2nd, Boxbrunn, Germany to the Rhine

OK, these people are cute. The father knocked on the door to wake me up at 8:30 (instead of a wake up call). I go downstairs to get some blank CD's and a cup of coffee. I see they're busy in the kitchen so I start to walk back to my room. The father stops me and leads me to a table in the breakfast room and proceeds to lay out a meal that could choke a pig! I had no choice but to eat it, even though I was not hungry at all. Glad I did. Homemade preserves? I mean, come on!

I'm about to hit the last leg of the Romantic Route on the way to Frankfurt. It's still gloomy outside, but the sun peeked out for just a second so there's hope!
