Germany Week 12 (part 1) Austria, the Hills are alive and a hundred dollar cab ride

Germany Week 12  (part 1)  Austria, the Hills are alive and a hundred dollar cab ride

Dear all:

I have to do this in two parts this week because I will not be in town Sunday when I usually write these.  But this is part one.

Last week I finally had to physically go to the transportation office and get them to call the movers to set a date for our furniture.  It is coming the day before our daughter, Amanda, and her friend get here.  Then we had to set the day before for the movers to move the furniture that is on loan to us.  The problem was ---hmmm---let me see---they had our email listed –yes you guessed it --needaneamail@yahoo.com    I wonder if anyone actually has that email—lol

Gregg sent one set of golf clubs back this week via postal service and as he is walking in the post office trying to lug the large box—the postmaster yelled,  “Hey we don’t ship bodies.”  To which Gregg stone faced replied, “It’s okay this one is dead.”  They all fell out laughing.

We left yesterday afternoon for Salzburg.  We rode the train and got there around 8pm.  Salzburg is a neat little town full of culture and tradition.  We toured the Mozart area and bought a few souvenirs, but the highlight of our trip was “the Sound of Music” tour which I made Gregg go on after I made him watch the Sound of music again.  Anyway it was loads of fun.  You can see me and Gregg by  the Gazebo and there is also a picture of the church they got married in.  I really enjoyed it.  I have to admit Salzburg was a great trip—I will probably return sometime.

Now for the ride back we had to wait an hour in Salzburg train station and the train was late to Munich and we missed our connection so they set us up with the next train but that connection was only 4 minutes so we missed it.  We had to take a taxi back to the house—70 Euros-about 100 dollars.  As I sit here after taking a bath and relaxing I can honestly say it was the best hundred I ever spent.  Lol  Hey guys everything can’t always go like it supposed to—I mean, where is the story in that.  And with all of that I will leave you for a few days expect part 2 Monday or Tuesday.

But for now --Hugs from Germany
