| It's me with a bicycle and we're riding in the countryside, outside Salzburg! |
The sun finally came out today and stayed out! I have a beautiful sunburn:)
 |
| A late lunch overlooking Salzburg at the old Stiegl Brewery (it's now a restaurant and biergarten!) |
I don't know if I've had such a perfect day in a very long time.
This morning and part of the afternoon I joined Fraulein Maria's Bicycle Tour. We rode all through Old Town and then enjoyed many stops on a Sound of Music tour.

| The infamous gazebo from the Sound of Music Movie! |
The highlight for me was the Nonnberg Abbey (where Maria in Sound of Music) lived as a nun. We had an opportunity to enter the Abbey, which is still an active abbey with nuns, and while we were in the church THE NUNS STARTED SINGING AND CHANTING.

| The Gates to Nonnberg Abbey |
Truly, the most angelic sound. It was so unexpected and filled the chapel with such beauty.
 |
| Inside the Nonnberg Abbey...the nuns are singing! |
I stopped in at the Mozarteum to see some of the Orff Symposium displays that are now up.
 |
| What an entrance! |
 |
| Amazing photos from the past 50 years of the Orff Institute. |
 |
| Carl Orff and Dorthee Gunther |
 |
| Original instruments used in the first Orff classes. A basket of recorders, xylphones, woods. |
My day ended with a captivating marionnette opera at The Salzberger Marionettentheater, with stunningly handmade marionettes from Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute).
 |
| The entrance to the Marionette Theater. It's an opera house for puppets! |

| Papageno from the Magic Flute |
