DAY 5 — Salzburg! 🌨️ Woke up to snow, and, of course, first down for breakfast. But I saw students in the gym! 🎼 “Tea with jam and bread” indeed! 🎼

We learned a lot on our Sound of Music tour of Salzburg. Seeing gardens, churches, city squares. Of course, soooo much snow.

We start with questions at Mount Vernon, always asking the guide follow ups! Chris and Chloe are great at it.

Crossing bridge in winter… not so dangerous, right?!

Views of St. Peter’s and the City’s Cathedral.

More sights from around the city! And a fancy sign for McDonald’s! Shopping in the city streets, very Hallmark movie chic.

After lunch we had a chance to stop at Mozart’s Gerburtshaus and learn about one of the world’s greatest composers.

Because you can’t take pictures in the Sistine Chapel, guides teach about its history, importance, and symbolism outside of the chapel and Vatican Museums.

Along the way, we get to see numerous works of art, including the famous Laocoon.

We also learn geography!

A corridor filled the over 40 maps of the territories of Italy!

Of course, I took pictures of the hallway, not the maps. But Trey took plenty!

After breakfast in the hotel, we get pumped in the lobby for a day of walking around the city to view the artifacts of Ancient Rome and share reminders about public transportation in a foreign city. First view: St Mary of the Nativity.

Our meeting point is The Arch of Constantine. Arches were built to commemorate great victories. In the distance, the hill where Romulus and Remus founded the ancient city of Rome.

And, no, I didn’t take pictures of anyone sleeping on the bus!

Pictures weren’t allowed at our stop this morning — the Capuchin Crypts, where bodies have been mummified, preserved, and displayed for nearly 400 years.

But we are all checked in for our flight to Rome!

A stroll along the bayside of Marsaxlokk Port and stalls. We had the chance to learn about the role the bay plays in Maltese culture. Boats are prized possessions and are often painted in vibrant colors.
