Salzburg

One weekend I went to Salzburg with my Mom and Dad.  I went to Nonnburg where Maria (the lead person in The Sound of Music) was a nun and we saw the outside.  It was so pretty at the top but you had to climb a billion stairs.  I also got to see the Trapp Family house, the gazebo (where 'I am 16 going on 17' was filmed), and the river where they fell in the water.  My favorite part was the Do Re Me steps.

Our hotel was by a marionette theater with puppets and we got to see the show 'The Magic Flute'.

We also went to the trick fountains of Hellbrunn.  And we got to see the place where the archbishop, when he was sitting at the table with his guests, when the guests got drunk there was a fountain built into their seat so he turned on the fountain (every seat except his).  And the fountains were actually still working so we got a little bit wet.  And my Dad was leaning over to look at one of the seats when the tour guide switched it on and I could tell cause on his glasses he had little drops of water :-)

A day at Märchenwald

Today I went to an amusement park called Märchenwald.  I went on a squirrel ride with my dad about 15,000 times.  There was also this astronaut ride where you pushed this green button and you turn like you are rolling and you go upside down.

I had a really really really really good time.

That's it for now...

Hi everyone,

I love Germany! I also found a park near my apartment! Sorry I am going so fast! I'm just excited!  I now live in an apartment in Munich and it is really big.  The dining room is about as big as my room, my mom and dad's room, and both bathrooms all together.  There are really pretty rooms.

There is a 10 minute walk to a really cool zoo that me and my mom went to.  It is really really really really really big.  There are even kangaroos (but they weren't jumping when we were there).
