Two Beautiful Cities


Salzburg and Innsbruck, Austria are favorites of ours, to ring in 2009 we drove south to visit them. Churches surround the heart of old Salzburg, their bells chiming is music to your ears. A quick afternoon city stroll and bite to eat were all we had time for.

We had reservations in Innsbruck for two nights of lodging at Adler Inn. Mozart was also one of their guests. Austrian Alps are perfect background for this special place. Many European cities host large, large parties and fireworks to usher in the New Year. Innsbruck was packed with people and anticipation.

Fireworks over the river and mountains were breathtaking. Speakers bigger than any I have ever seen or heard , blasted out accompanying fanfare music. P.J. used this setting to pop the big question to Sara. They plan to be married in the fall of 2010.
