Our city guide directed us past the Cathedral and some of the art museums and music houses made famous by Motzart and Strauss. After lunch with our friends Debbie and I strolled through two of their beautiful city parks. We were reminded of similar strolls through Central Park in NYC.


We finished out the afternoon with a gelato and some window shopping that paralleled similar experiences in Florence and Los Angeles. We checked in on the rental car office where we will pick up our van for the trip to Salzburg on Friday morning. There at the counter another fluent-speaking German woman pulled out her credit card and her California Drivers License. I asked about her license and she said that she went to school in Santa Cruz and now lives most of the time in Europe. She is an accomplished singer in German-speaking operas. What a coincidence!
