Europe Post #26: Salzburg

I know.  It's been a LONG time since my last update.  It's been a crazy few weeks.

Recap:
7/31, 11 pm - arrive in Birmingham
pack for rush at Auburn
8/2, 2 pm - head to Auburn to stay at Holiday Inn for rush
8/13 - check out of Holiday Inn, bid day, return to Birmingham
pack to move into apartment
8/15 - move in Auburn apartment
8/16 - class beings
8/17 - help with weekend retreat in Valley, AL
8/18 - return to Auburn from retreat

So I'm finally settled in my apartment and "enjoying" the normality of class.

And so brings me to my blog post on Salzburg, my last weekend in Europe.  WARNING: LOTS of pictures.  We toured the city, went on the Sound of Music tour, and took a cable car to the Untersberg mountain.
