Today we went from Germany back into Austria, where we remain for another 4 days. Our first stop was Salzburg, best known for being the birthplace and family home of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The town itself was beautiful and the streets were lined with wrought-iron signs and elaborately decorated buildings. We had a number of amazing experiences in Salzburg, making it difficult to choose just one photo to represent our day there. In the end, I chose a photo from an evening dinner concert that we attended. Since both my husband and I enjoy classical music, we wanted to enjoy a concert in the hometown of Mozart. While it was probably a tourist trap type of place, the Mozart Dinner Concert evening was still full of talent, candelight, good food, and lots of fun. The dinner was broken into 3 musical acts, each followed by a food course serving dishes that would have been served in Mozart's time. Musical pieces from "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", and "The Magic Flute" were performed, and in our opinion one of the most talented individuals performing was the lead violinist shown in this photo. Definitely one of the most memorable evenings during our trip and a great way to fully experience Mozart in Salzburg.
