Audrey was enjoying herself in Saltzburg.
Our hotel in Saltzburg was located in the very center of the most interesting part of the city. Here you can see Graham, with our hotel to the left and the Fortress of Saltzburg on the top of the hill above us.
The castle that overlooks Saltzburg is called the Hohensaltzburg. It is the place where the Bishop of Saltzburg and a few hundred of his closest friends took refuge whenever they felt at risk - like during peasant revolts or the 30-years war and such. The fortress was never taken. Now it is a major tourist attraction and museum that helps to keep the economy of the city going...
Here Audrey is admiring the city from the fortress.
One of the must-see places in Saltzburg is the Maribel Gardens. Here is a nice shot of Audrey in one of her new favorite places!
And here is Audrey having some fun posing in Mirabel Gardens. For the most part, the resemblance is quite striking!
As in most tourist hot spots, there were a lot of artists hawking their pictures. We decided to by a couple of acrylic paintings of the city from this artist.
A recurring theme in most of the places that we are visiting is the spectacular churches, filled with excellent art works. The architecture and expert craftsmanship on display in these many churches are exceptional!
Saltzburg is the birthplace Mozart and the center of all that is Mozart. The Skjenna's and the Bogner's enjoyed a very elegant experience attending the famous Mozart Dinner Concert, complete with a live Mozart Quintet, a pair of Opera Singers, and authentic 17th century menu!
After the concert we wandered Saltzburg by moonlight.

Hi Stepanie,
All is well. We are in Rome now at an internet cafe. Stop feeding the fish for three days and the water should clear up. Make sure the pump is running. You might be overfeeding the fish...
Love, Mom and Dad.
