Salt-land

Inadvertently, before we left, I bought a book called Salt, which gives an entire history of salt and its impact on multiple civilizations. During our stay in Munich, the subject of salt has come up more than once, but most recently on our trip to Salzburg, or, "Salt Castle." We had another beautiful day which involved a two-hour train ride to and from the city. Once there, we tagged along in an hour walking tour visiting sites from The Sound of Music, Mozart and various places of beautiful architecture. Following the guided tour, we had lunch and then picked up some bikes and rode along the Salzach river. The city is truly gorgeous with a backdrop of the alps at almost every angle.

Upon our return, we stopped at a beer garden to have a couple liters of beer before a downpour of rain ruined our continuously beautiful weather and forced us back to the hostel. Don't worry though, the Hostel has beer and we're keeping in touch.

We leave for Milan early tomorrow. That's all from Germany.
