One Day Trip to Salzburg


It was a perfect sunny day for a one day trip. To get to the top of the Festung on top of the hill was a bit of challenge, but the view of the city was all worth it. It was breathtaking. I lingered on the top longer than I expected. But I still managed to make it to some other placed including the little apartment where Mozart was born.

Royal Castle Day


View of Old Town Munich from St. Peter's Church

Before climbing up all the stairs in the church, I had an amazing filling breakfast at the Viktualienmarkt and had my first leberkas.

Taschen Exhibit in Munich

No photos were allowed at the exhibit. So I had to take out my sketchbook to record what bags I liked. Good exercises though! It was an excellent survey of women's and men's bags dating from 13th or 14th century through the modern days. I was especially fascinated by the bags called zoeger used by the Bavarian country women. They were made of straw and leather and they look amazingly modern.
