Ok, follow the math here.  We paid 1.5 euros per liter for gasoline today.  There are 3.785 liters to a gallon.  That’s 5.68 euros per gallon.  At 1.68 dollars per euro, that’s, drumroll please… nine and a half bucks a gallon!  (The car got 20.5 mpg today.)

We drove from Munich to Salzburg today.  Very nice drive.  Check out this photo of the Alps taken from the A8 Autobahn nearing the Austrian border.  You can’t complain about that. 

Salzburg is amazing!  What a beautiful city.  We took a few hundred pictures around town and from the ‘Fortress’.  It’s going to take a while to process them and upload them. 

The Fortress

We really enjoyed the day.  It was the pick day for weather, so far.  We ditched our jackets for the first time in a week.  The temps were probably close to 70 degrees and it was sunny.  We had a quick lunch and headed for the fortress on the far side of town.  We took a little tram up the side of the hill instead of walking all the way up.  Fifteen euros, but worth it!  The view from up there was so cool.  Again, pictures when I get more time for uploading.  Dinner was at a local restaurant around the corner from the hotel.  Finally we had Wienerschnitzel.  It was so-so.  But it was nice to sit and talk.  And not walk…

They say rain for tomorrow, so we’re planning on seeing Mozart’s Residence, not his birthplace.  Apparently the residence is way-cooler.  It’s just around the corner from the hotel.  As Aaarnold says, I’ll be Bach.  You be Mozart!
