So Long, Farewell.... Salzburg

Time to leave Salzburg. Our stay here was unforgetable and as usual It was hard to go. Sherry had made amazing plans and if she says we did everything we planned (plus the fortress) then I know our stay would be no more complete than if we had stayed another week. Saturday, our first full day in Salzburg, and the day we did the Sound of Music tour, was our ONLY cloudy partially) day with a small bit of rain in the morning. Because of this we decided to return to the "Hills" that we saw during the tour to get a few extra pictures on an absolutely gorgeous day. I warned Sherry that she still had not twirled around on some hill in Austria like Maria. She had hoped I had forgotten but no, this had become my latest passion for a photo. Then there it was, a beautiful, green hill with a snow covered mountain in the backgroud exactly as I imagined it (also close to the filming of a portion of the Do-Re-Me song). We pulled over on the side of the road and if ever there was any hesitation from Sherry it was quickly overcome by my pure excitement of the perfect picture possibility. Got it! Then on our way to Munich and the Autobaun. Wait look check that view out! Oh just one more picture! I don't remember this on the tour we must stop its a great place for a panorama


(justification for bringing my tripod all the way to Germany). Sherry has been so patient, we stopped, and I took pictures for about 30 minutes. After appologizing (because I said I would be quick), she said I figured on 30 or 40 minutes. After getting a couples (Sherry and I) picture we were back on the road. But not so quick. We discovered why we didn't remember this spot. We were lost. It was beautiful country side finding our way back, 15 miles of beautiful country side.
