Meine Lieblingsplatz: Mirabell gartens

(9/12/2010) Went to church, ate kebaps, went to Mirabell gardens, and dinner with Faculty


       On Sunday I decided to go to the morning mass at the Dom (cathedral).  The mass was in german and I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn, although the only word I actually understood through the whole thing was Geschichte (meaning history).  After mass, a couple of us got kebaps and then wandered around the city.  On our way back home we decided to stop at Mirabell gartens, where a scene from The Sound of Music was filmed.  So far, Mirabell gartens is my favorite place in Salzburg.  It was such a nice day and the garden was absolutely beautiful.  It’s just perfect.  I really can’t get over how beautiful it was, I am in love with that place.  On the walk back I also got to see the horse fountain from one of the opening scenes of The Sound of Music. 
          That evening we had drinks and dinner with the faculty.  All our professors came over and we all got to meet them.  Then, we took “the longest bus in Austria,” a tour bus with 72 seats out to a restaurant in the country and had a delicious steak dinner with all the teachers.
