St. Wolfgang, Austria

Today we took a bus to St. Gilgen and then a ferry to St. Wolfgang.  It is a beautiful picturesque town in Austria about an hour from Salzburg. It is soo cool being in the middle of a town that is literally full of Austrian houses and buildings stacked on top of each other. If you were to imagine an Austrian or German town, this is what you would think of. The streets were pretty much only people and little shops, but a car could fit down them as well. It was pretty -----serial. There is a lifesize nativity scene in the middle of the town with a bunch of different Austrian people headed toward the stable with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in it. Because Austrians were around back then.........

Earlier in the day, the clouds covered a lot of the mountains that surround the lake and the town, but later on after waking around a bit and having lunch, they cleared up and we could see all the tops! It was pretty cool, because even when the clouds lifted, there were still some that were lower than the tops of the mountains.. it was beautiful.
