A Tale of a Little (or a lot) of Cheese!!!

Dana zou win the prize.... Cindz was the luckz winner at the Sound of Music Dinner Show last night. All of zour second grade Minuet Dance lessons paid off. Cindz was pulled up on stage to dance the Austrian Waltz (or something like that). Please see picture below!!!!

Imagine 50 plus people on a tour bus traveling through Salzburg reminiscing to the all American favorite, The Sound of Music. Karen... our favorite tour guide, Peter, was back...even with all the same jokes:) The tour bus took us to the film locations around Salzberg including the place where Maria and the children fell out of the boats when waving to the Captain. Peter told us thez took that scene in two takes, but thez almost lost Gretyl in the second take. We also stopped at the Gazebo where Leisl and Rolf sang We Are Sixteen Going on Seventeen. Thez also told us the storz that thez had to lock the gazebo a few zears ago since a 90 zear old woman tried to dance between the benches and broke her hip! We then went up in the mountains to the lake districts where we were able to go in the church where thez filmed the wedding scene.

We had a busz afternoon sightseeing around town. We rode a funicular to the top of the fortress and got a great view of the citz. We then visited St. Peter´s Church which was beautiful. Outside of the church we ran across the cemetarz where Hollzwood got the inspiration for the escape in the abbz in the Sound of Music.

We finished our night with the Cheesiest Dinner Show of ALL TIMES!!!! This maz have been the first time our guide, Rick, has led us astraz. However, it was good for some laughs and plus... Cindz made her Austrian Debut... Thanks to Dee Dee!!!!

We are sitting in the internet cafe waiting waiting for our last big cross countrz train ride. We are headed to the Rhine River Vallez for our last hoorah in Europe. Since we are out of snacks we are armed with a cinnamon street pretzel for the train ride.

Thanks for all zour comments... It is hard to believe our trip is almost over! Hopefullz, we will have another chance to write before we head back. We are heading into castle land, so hopefullz we will be able to share our castle pictures!

Love to Everzone!!!!
