Salzburg

Rachel and I are loving every minute of our time in Salzburg. She has been very tolerant of my compulsive need to reminisce constantly (Oh, this is the beer we used to drink! Oh, this was my favorite chocolate bar! Oh, I remember this store with the really strange window displays - I can't believe I didn't remember that!) Of course some things have changed; it has been seven years after all. But, the mountains are even more stunning than I remember and the town hasn't lost any of its fairy-tale charm.

I only have a few minutes to post right now, but we have been spending our days in a relaxed pace of strolling around town, getting coffee or food, seeing sights like the cathedral and the fortress, and just enjoying ourselves. We go on a tour of the surrounding lakes district this afternoon. It is nice to be travling at a more leisurly pace and it is the perfect way to wrap our trip up. Tomorrow we fly to England, the next day we fly to Colorado (her) and New Haven (me), then on January 7th we both head home to Tacoma for a week.
