Day 3 Salzburg

The last water-powered marble mill in Germany



Really, they're thrilled
No is not afraid of dinosoars.  
Hedgie!

I love Salzburg, but do NOT love the traffic.   We started our day at the Kugelmühle near Berchtesgaden.  They still grind marbles the old-fashioned way, with water power.  I thought it was cool and we bought marbles for everyone.  


Next stop:  Mirabell gardens to see the sound of music gazebo.  Again, I seemed to be the only one impressed.  


In Hallein, Austria, Franz Gruber's grave
Then:  Salzburg, lunch at the market square, walking tour of the city and kids complaining and wanting to know when were were going to the Haus der Natur.  So, we gave up on culture and went to play.  After an exhausting day of scientific exploration and exhibits we got stuck in traffic.  Our attempt to detour led us WAY out of our way in Hallein, which happens to be the place Franz Gruber is buried.  We saw his old organ and the place he is buried while we waited for the gasthaus to open.  Our day ended in one of our more unique detours through the mountains.  Even our new GPS wants us to use back roads!

This latest post says you posted it tomorrow, which means I am using the past tense to describe something that is in the future to those of us in the western part of the world. Best not to think too hard about it as it makes my brain hurt.
