Salzburg Austria June 28

Today is a very short blog.  It was a free day for most of us.  About half of the group when to the see the houses where the von Trapp family lived.  The other group did whatever they wanted.

Jack and I took off and went to museums.  We started with the Residenz.  I have included a couple pictures of the castle to give you a feel for the place.

I have a friend who likes guns so I thought that I would start with showing some of their gun collection.





Throughout the castle there were a large collection of clocks.  A few were designed to have a candle illuminate them at night.




This is the dining hall.  Throughout the castle were exquisite wooden floors.



We then visited the Salzburg Museum.  Most of the exhibits were about the history of  Salzburg.  However, this beautiful comtemporary piece was in the front of the museum.

There was an exhibit of comtemporary items that had been collected by the museum.  I loved this doll house since it is the exact doll house I had growing up.  However, I did have better furniture.

Tommorrow we are leaving Salzburg but not before we all go on a bike ride.
