For my friend Carrie's 30th birthday we surprised her with a weekend away to Salzburg, Austria. On Friday afternoon, we picked up our car rental and began driving to Salzburg. Carrie had no idea where we were going ... success! After stopping in a small Austrian town along the way for some dinner (it was YUMMY), we finally arrived at our hostel in the evening. The next day we all went on the Sound of Music Tour (my second time on the tour) and then explored the old town of Salzburg. It was fun to see all the old buildings and spend time with my friends. Unfortunately, I also developed a migraine in the afternoon (thankfully it went away by Sunday morning). On Sunday we drove to the border of German and Austria to a little town that is "famous" for having the Silent Night Church. This was the church were the silent night was first played. The entire church can fit about 15 people comfortably (20 people smushed). It was TINY! After seeing the church and picking out some Christmas gifts in the gift shop, we drove to a beautiful lake in Germany for some lunch and relaxation. Since school was supposed to start on Tuesday, we ended up cutting our trip a little bit short and returning to Vienna just before dinner on Sunday night. All in all it was a fun way to celebrate a 30th birthday!
