Return trip!
We have forgotten just how tired feet can become and luckily haven't figured out how cold -5 degrees Celsius feels. Below is an itinerary so you can keep track of our schedule. We will try to update as much as possible during our short time in Salzburg. We're not sure if we can upload pictures since we won't have our laptop this time but we will do our best.

Itinerary:

This day we are planning on going to this small chapel we visited last time where the song Silent Night was written and first performed. They apparently have a big Christmas Eve celebration. If you would like to watch it LIVE you can follow this link. It will start at 10am central standard time. Maybe you'll see us! Just click here to get to the website for the live view.

Christmas dinner will be at the St Peter Stiftskeller. It is the oldest continuously run restaurant in Europe and was established when Charlemagne (Charles the Great) first ate here in year 803. Salzburg is known for its connection to Mozart and this dinner will include a concert by a quintet playing the greatest hits. The dinner will include a menu from the time of Mozart.
