A town filled with marionettes.

Austria, Australia, potato, potah-toe.

Mom and I took off for Salzburg for an old school, cultural New Years Eve celebration (yes, I know it really isn't a party city). We followed in the footsteps of such great luminaries as Mozart (even catching a concert of his music in one of the old castles) and Julie Andrews. The hills are alive in Salzburg, Austria (and after a day of hiking through them, I am convinced this is more than just a song lyric). And there is something for everyone.
