A two hour train ride took us to Salzburg, Austria, the home to The Sound of Music and Mozart. Salzburg was once its own country, owned by the Catholic Church, so there were many Catholic churches to view. Our two hour walking tour was in the rain, but during our free time the skies cleared and the city was beautiful.
