Mirabell Palace and Gardens
Karen was trying to get the guys to watch a video clip from the Sound of Music
which showcased some of the places we would visit on the tour.
Dave looked at it kind of half-heartedly. Then at the end of the tour, when we came
back to the gardens, he says, ''Look, this was in the movie...''. So funny.
On these very steps, Maria (Julie Andrews) lead the children in the Do-Re-Mi song.
We were so glad that the rain held until today since we were in the bus most of the time.
We felt sorry for the bus load of tourists heading up to the Eagle's Nest
thinking they probably wouldn't have the beautiful views we had the day before.
The Sound of Music was filmed in Salzburg in 1964. It was based on Maria Trapp's story written in 1949.
There are a few discrepancies from what actually happened (about 20% isn't accurate.)

Approximately 8.2 million people visit Salzburg each year.
There are over 70 lakes in the Lake and Mountain District, which includes three provinces.
This cool tree really caught my attention.
