Yesterday was our second and final day in Vienna. We enjoyed the famous Sacher Torte that Steffi recommended and had fun wandering around the city center. The weather feels like Christmas in California. It is such a nice change to be a little cold rather than uncomfortably hot.We strolled along the center and passed by a famous church, Stephansdom.
Mostly, we just spent time people watching and enjoying the scenery. Austria is a beautiful country. It is quite enjoyable to simply watch the scenery go by as we travel through the country by train.
Today we took a morning train to Salzburg and set out to discover the city. Although we had a map in hand and a list of site to see, we didn´t anticipate running into a huge festival in the middle of the city! We were bummed to miss out on the L.A. fair this year, but this Austrian festival made up for our losses. :)We stepped around a corner and all of a sudden, we were in the middle of countless foodstands and booths filled with Austrian nick-nacks.
A beer garden was set up in a large tent and an Austrian men´s choir sang proudly at the center. Children wandered through the streets carrying large handfulls of cotton candy and brezen. My favorite "fair food" was a croissant roll filled with a creme that tasted very similar to marshmallow creme. It´s a good thing we´re walking everywhere with all the food we´re enjoying. :)
(By the way...we haven´t taken too many pictures here in Salzburg since it has been so rainy and we don´t want to mess up our cameras.)
