The Friday before Fall Break, Rainbow Hills went on a field trip to a small farm and pony rides. We all walked around to see the animals: bunnies, pigs, chickens, emu....
We all rotated between playing on the playground, eating a snack and riding the ponies.
Fall Break
During the first half of the week, I had lunch with a friend, toured the American International School, helped out at the Christian library and was a substitute for second grade at the International Christian School (ICSB) on Wednesday.
Fun Vacation: Salzburg
We left early Thursday morning and arrived around one. We went to the hotel to check-in, went to Old Town to eat and walk around. Megan (roommate for the trip and teacher at ICSB) had a self guided tour from Rick Steve's so we knew what exactly we were looking at.
Salzburg is located in a valley with the Alps surrounding the small city. It is the birthplace of Mozart and location of the filming of the movie Sound of Music.
Friday "Tourist Day"
Fortress
Sound of Music Tour
Shopping
We went into a store called Interio, which had quite an assortment of things for the home. They had the cutest cookie cutters! Many of the souvenir shops had beautiful ornaments. One store had hundreds and hundreds of hand painted egg shells that were beautiful. We also went in a few souvenir shops to look around.
Saturday "Nature Day"
Hike in the Alps. Couldn't help but sing "climb every mountain..."
Mirabell Gardens
Sunday
Train ride home.
Salzburg was a beautiful and quaint town. Spending four days there was the perfect amount to see sights and not feel rushed, learn our way around the town and enjoy our mini vacation.
