Binder Family Travel Adventures

Today we traveled from Munich to Salzburg, a pretty easy train ride.

When we got here…it was raining…big shock…I know. We are getting used to managing in the rain.

After we got into town, we dropped our luggage at the hotel and went out to explore with our umbrellas.

We walked through Mirabell Gardens where they shot scenes for The Sound of Music, walked through the old town, saw the birthplace and childhood home of Mozart. We ate local cuisine (Italian food) for lunch.

Then we went back to our room, freshened up and headed up to the fortress above the city to check out the fortress and watch a Mozart concert. Before the concert, we did actually eat local cuisine in the fortress restaurant overlooking the city. We enjoyed bread dumplings, beef ghoulash, and other items. David’s grandma made dumplings as a kid and they were not good back then but okay now….kinda.

The highlight for David Sr. was when they played the song in the tango scene in True Lies. Admittedly, his knowledge of high society is limited to what he learned in Bugs Bunny cartoons and Hollywood movies.
