Today was a very different day along the course of our journey. We started off the day with the usual hotel breakfast which is a sandwich here basically. They we did a tour of the city by foot with the history of salzburg, a tour of the mozart house and a few finishing touches with the sound of music. While at the mozart house our group got a private concert from one of the famous musicians that salzburg has kept hidden. He is one of the three people allowed to play the pianoforte in either of the mozart residences and he played this instrument (that mozart used) specifically for us. The performance was spectacular and I got to see a real pianoforte in action and not just that but Mozart's. Then we finished our walking tour by another church within the city. At that point the rest of our day was free to do as we would. I swear most of our group became zombies today because they all weant back to the hotel and slept. I can't say I didnt go back for an hour or so but I went to the Cathedral just to sit and enjoy the silence and beauty of the place along with some prayer. I was happily surprised that the choir began to practice while i was there and I got to hear the sounds of the cathedral come alive infront of me with their 7 ... yes SEVEN pipe organs. The we went to dinner at St. Peters, the oldest restraunt in europe. It was ok but a little to posch for their britches I think. It was a great experience though and now we all prepare for our travel to Vienna..
