More Germany and Austria!

This is Us in front of the Mansion where parts of The Sound of music were filmed. Gorgeous home on a lake in a gorgeous area!


We are having a fabulous time and everything is so incredibly beautiful!!
We love the trains here- so fast and easy-not to mention clean!
We`'ve had some fun with English/German lessons as hardly anyone in Begtesgarten Spoke English at all!
We arrived in vienna today -i cant express how amazing it is..words fail..
The buildings and the archtitecture...!
I have not taken any pics here yet.

Here is a pic of the Fabulous Castle in Salzburg. One of the mightiest fortresses in all of Europe, it was never taken by force since 1100 ad! It was wisely surrendered only to Napoleon!



The is taken from the trail walking up to our wonderful B&B in Bad Rachenhall.
Such a gorgeous place on a little lake!
Love you all and cant wait to show you all of our pictures!
We are staying in Vienna 4 days - in a teensy little place off of an alley in the heart of old Vienna!

Germany!

We are here safe and sound and not even too tired! It was touch and go a few times getting onour flights - standby is a little scary. Made it on the LA -Frankfurt flight by the skin of our teeth and Ric being so charming! Then first class to Frankfurt! WOW- now we know how the rich folks travel! We are staying the next few days in A lovely resort outside of Badreichenhall. near a little daarling lake and a billion trees -just at the begining of the Austrian Alps. Gorgeous!
The computer at this place wont let me upload pics or go on Facebook so you have to wait for pics. We are really glad we learned a tiny bit of german before leaving! Hardly anyone speaks more than a word or two of english and they are as nervous about it as we are German!
Having a really fun time pracxticing tho and everyone has been so nice. Got caught in a thunder and lightning storm this afternoon and were glad of the rain jackets and umbrella we through into the backpack!
Salyburg tomorrow and Eagles nest and whatever we feel like!
Love You all!!
