                 The hills are still alive with the sound of music. 

Our next stop on our trip was Salzburg , Austria.   If you are a music lover, this is the city to go.  Not only is it Mozarts birthplace.  But you can visit places where they filmed The Sound of Music, and learn more about the family that inspired the movie starring Julie Andrews.  After a walking tour of the city we also went to visit Eagles nest. The view  was amazing. I am still trying to picture Hitlers driver driving him up there back in the day because for us to get up there, our tour bus took us up to a certain point. Then another bus that was specifically for going up the winding road .  There was no origonal furniture there because it was destroyed the Allies when they came in . So it is just a resturant now.  But they still have information about the history and our tour guide mentioned students visit the concentration camps as a reminder of their history so it won't be repeated. To end on a fun note, our last stop  before our hotel was the Gazebo where the song "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" from The Sound of Music was filmed . So let's all remember to continue to be excellent to one another.
