Salzburg, Austria - home base for 3 days

The navigation is a necessity for traveling. The streets are narrow and were quite busy when we arrived.
It was nice to park the car for three days and get around on foot.

The view from our window at the NH Hotel. 

Dave had an appointment with a missionary early Friday morning before
we set out for the tour of the Eagles Nest. Those pictures are in a separate post.

Stolpersteine, or "stumbling blocks", were created by the German artist Gunter Demnig 

to remember the Holocaust in a more intimate and personal way.

The project, begun by  in 1992, commemorates victims on cobble stone-sized brass plates inscribed with their name and available information about, for example, where they were killed. 

These blocks are then installed in the pavement at their last known residence.

 Salzburg is on the banks of the River Salzach, at the northern boundary of the Alps.

Walking the streets in the evening was magical.

Notice the reservation time of 1800. We were told we ONLY had two hours for dinner.

No one is in a rush for dinner. You come to enjoy the food and the company, which we did!

The Andersons ordered the Salzburger Nockerln (a sweet soufflé), a typical Salzburg dessert. It was served warm with a delicious raspberry topping (a 'must' according to Gabi in our office) and we shared our Apfel crepes. So delicious!

We picked up a goose egg ornament in this store filled with all kinds of real eggs
decorated for Christmas and Easter.
The detail so was inspiring. SO MANY EGGS!
