Last weekend I went to Salzburg with Mark from Seattle and Al from KU. I was also able to meet Garrett from NC one last time. I feel like I always have trouble trying to sum up a weekend trip so I have decided to write about my 3 favorite things.

3. Our tourguide for the lakes and mountains tour...
She was a little old Austrian lady and she is my favorite Austrian ever. She drove us through the Lakes and Mountains surrounding Salzburg. She could just barely see over the steeringwheel and she seemed like she was still learning how to drive a manual. More than that, she had a microphone hanging right infront of her face; she was pointing out the window to the things she wanted us to see; and she was speaking about all of this in her second language. She was my favorite and she gave us a wonderful tour.

2. Al's roommate is from Salzburg and she was home at the same time we were visiting the city. She took us out to an awsome Austrian food place, a local place...like the kind that you need to go to with a local. The food was wonderful and the view from our terrasse seating was spectacular. After that she took us to a really small bar to watch some of her friends from highschool play music. It was very nice of her to take us to those places and we really appreaciated it.

1. On sunday, we decided to take the bus to the one of the spots we saw on our lakes and mountains tour. When we got there we figured out we could rent electric boats for 14 euro per hour. It was an incredible deal and it was great to cruise around the lake. There were dozens of sailboats on the lake and the water was light blue.
