Salzburg 1/15/10

While exploring Salzburg and taking photos, we got yelled at for the first time for being Americans. I decided to take a photo of the Hotel Salzburg, while snapping the pic I heard a lot of yelling and saw out of the corner of my eye some movement. I figured some crazy guy was having a panic attack or something and continued with my photo. My second glance revealed that I was actually in the path of 4 cyclists with my friends, all of us having clustered right in the middle. We immediately dodged out of the way while one of the cyclists yelled, “We speak German here!” (as translated by Katie S.).

For dinner we had schnitzel. I was disappointed because I had thought we were getting a sausage or brat of some sort. In reality the meal was just chicken-fried pork. I’d kill for a brat at the moment, it really is the food I’ve been looking for since I got here. The restaurant we ate at the Goldene Ente (Golden Duck) served the first European beer that I’ve gotten to try (Birst). Unfortunately this one sucked. There was some kind of aftertaste to it which some described as “metallic.” Nevertheless I finished the ½ liter I’d been given. Anthony even drank 2 more glasses donated by those who weren’t feeling it.
