Salzburg

We spent three nights in Salzburg (Friday afternoon to Monday morning, February 24-26).

The street going up the middle of the photo is the Getreidegasse, where Mozart was born.

The University Church in the foreground, the cathedral in the back (with two towers and dome), and the Franciscan Church between them. We went to Sunday mass in both the Franciscan Church and the cathedral.

The fortress on the cliff above the old city. You can just see the funicular railway in the lower left.

The fortress from a distance.

A cannon trained on the cathedral.

Fika in Salzburg. Mine (in front) is called “Mohr im Hemd” — “Moor in a shirt” (chocolate cake with ice cream and whipped cream). Arlin’s is a dumpling smothered in poppy seeds and butter.

Easter is only 6 weeks away. Do we have enough eggs?

Yes, those are giant pickles.

Our hotel (actually a combination of dormitory and guest house) was just this side of the church).

Our lodging. The plaque over the door commemorates the rebuilding after World War II bombing. This was a 16th-century building (I believe), rebuilt and reopened in 1951.

The Augustinian Church, at the end of the hill that encircles the old city. We had lunch at the cafe on the left.
