Mini Tour of Salzburg

Carlo and I left Munich around 4:30PM and reached Salzburg close to 6:00PM. Since the historic center of the city is so small and contained we were able to walk and explore the sights pretty easily...

It seemed like something out of a picture book.

Funny thing was that the first house we took pictures in front of turned out to be Mozart's birthplace. Carlo told me, "stand in front of that house and I'll take your picture"...not until later we discovered the insignia on the wall.

The nicest part was our visit to the Mirabellengardens, where hundreds of tulips were in full bloom.

Chiemsee and Salzburg on the fly!

This past Saturday, Carlo and I wanted to take advantage of the nice weather and decided very spontaneously to drive to 133km near city of Salzburg, Austria.

We allowed for a quick stop at the Chiemsee to marvel at the Kite Surfers and daring wind surfers there.

California-snapshots of dear faces and places!

Crystal Cove Beach Cottages

Crystal Cove will always hold a very dear place in our hearts...
From California poppies to hamburgers at the Beachcomber restaurant – a day at the beach couldn't be better!

At the Montage in South Laguna

We met our good friends Harvey and Yuliya and her mom who was visiting from St. Petersburg, Russia for drinks and a light lunch on the patio. It was our first time there and we were stunned by the beautiful vegetation and scenery created there!!!

California!

Just returned from a whirlwind 9 days in our old homestate. There is no place like it.
