A view of Salzburg with a glimpse of Deutschland in the background.

You know your picnic and mini-hike are good when a monk passes you on the trail, and you say "Grüß Gott" and he replies with "Servus."  

The fountains have escaped their glass enclosures to give spritzes and delight.  

 

This may be blasphemous, but the gelato in Munich was better than the gelato in Italy.  Kokos- Mandelcreme, or coconut-almond creme?  The. best.  His was a lemon variety, and also quite good.

Did I just become a snob?  Maybe.  

This is the way to do pizza so you don't end up feeling completely guilty.  But when you eat half of it...

Also, the two times we've been to Munich, we've had Chinese food and pizza.

I just don't know. 

A different view of the Neues Rathaus.  The figures in the middle of the tower spin around and such at different times of the day.  We still haven't managed to see it. I guess we'll just have to visit again.

Schmetterlinge. 

And good, old Festung Hohensalzburg sits pretty on a brilliant spring day.

I'm still enchanted by it all: the castle on the hill, the fountains, the bakeries, alles.  When I'm on the bus, I can't help looking at the castle and at the snow-capped mountains while other passengers text or blankly stare ahead.  It's still fairytale-esque.
