View of the Mountains and Lakes region and in the distance Mondsee where the church scene of the wedding was filmed

One of the funnest things we did is go to Salzburg Austria and take the Sound of Music tour. Our guide was a 50 year old version of Jack on Will and Grace and was hilarious. On the bus they played the soundtrack and did a verbal tour of all the great scenes from the movie. I have really wanted to go here but for some reason my boys (greg included) just didnt want to go. Though I really want to bring them back to see the palaces and the Salt Fortress that sits over the city and the historic district. After the scene tour of the city we went into the Lakes and Mountains Region. The bus came down the mountain into a absolutley wonderful town called Mondsee(moon city). I loved it here. In this town was the church that Maria got married in which we got to go inside, so majestic and fabulous. We walked to a cafe and had Apple Strudel with vanilla sauce and hot chocolate....yummy! Alot of interesting facts on the tour one of them being that the boat scene where all the children fall in, Gretel almost drowned, and was filmed behind one house but the actual lane where they were in the trees and the patio and ballroom scenes were at another house all together. Anyway the only thing we didnt get to do is run up a hill and sing the hills are alive becaue the hills she did that on were wayyyy far away, but we did sing alot!
