Salzburg

Saturday, I made a trip to Salzburg to do a couple of tours around the city and the surrounding area. I was able to see Mozart's birth house and the house he lived much of his adult life in, and then some beautiful little villages in the surrounding area, set in the mountains next to lakes.

I was able to get to Salzburg and back to Munich with one ticket, called a Bayern-ticket, that also allowed me to use public transportation in Salzburg, and only cost 23 Euros. Also very interesting was that I crossed the German-Austrian border twice and my passport was not checked. I'm not sure what to think of this, especially since I was travelling the day after the events in Paris, but nonetheless, it made my trip very easy and convenient. I learned a great deal about the history of Salzburg during my trip. 

The best part of my trip was definitely the views I got to see.. much different than Mississippi:
