Trip To Germany -- Mozart




On Saturday, June 26, Carol got to pick where we went; only fair since we had spent two days at the BMW factory. She decided to go to Salzburg, Austria to see the birthplace of her favorite composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We had a Garmin Navigator that thought there was a particular street in the center of Salzburg that was not there. As a result we did several long laps through town before we found a place to park. We had to walk a long distance along a pedestrian street and then up three stories into the house where the great man was born.

The museum was disappointing in that there was not much there but, we did learn something interesting that made us compare him to Michael Jackson. Both men were very talented and in both cases, the families lived off that talent. As a result, neither had a childhood, neither grew up, and both died young.
