On Tuesday we went to Salzburg and saw many of the sites where the Sound of Music was filmed. The Salzburg Music Festival also was going on and music was playing throughout the city. We went up to the fortress overlooking the city and we also saw Mozart's birthplace as well. We struck up a nice conversation with Daniel Stenway, an excellent piano player whose CD we purchased. While talking to him, we ran into a woman named Elizabeth who helped clean up the Salzburg Cathedral after it was bombed (by accident) during World War II. She told us some very interesting stories about what happened to her and her family during the war. She is also very concerned about the rise of neo-Nazism in Germany and Europe.
