And of course every town square must have a Glockenspiel.  We heard bells ringing from all of the cathedrals at every hour.

As the light begins to fade, Elena caught this lovely image of the dome.

We begin the morning of July 5th on our own in Salzburg for the morning.  We saw plaques commemorating the residences of many famous people.  Christian Doppler’s house is next door to the Mozart family home.

Here is the home where Mozart grew up.  (Not where he was born)

Along the bridge over the Salz River we saw thousands of these locks attached to the fences.  This Liebesschloss (Lock of Love) says “I love you” in German.

It is a tradition for lovers to proclaim their love for one another, decorate a lock and attach it  to the fence.  After a kiss, they throw the key into the river below.  It made for lovely splashes of color all along the bridge.

We paid a few Euros to take the tram (more of an elevator actually) up to the Salzburg fortress.  The view of the city and surrounding countryside was spectacular.

At the bottom of these photo you can see the town square with the white tents of the open air market.
