Sankt Gilgen am Wolfgangsee

That is, Saint Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang. The cute old tourist town on a beautiful lake in the Hills of "Sound of Music" near Saltzberg, Austria .

Our dear friend, Runi, lives here. Every time we come here, she takes us around to see different sights and experience different culinary delights. Yesterday, we toured a salt mine. Bill liked the mine and the underground lake, but he didn't appreciate how much fun it is sliding down the long slides to the lower levels.

We are staying in a beautiful apartment on a farm, complete with cows, chickens, and cats. We get milk fresh from a cow for breakfast. The apartment has 2 large bedrooms, 2 baths, and a sitting room/kitchen. And a front porch. It is very new and beautifully finished, as things always are here. The views are all beautiful, with mountains all around, but you can't see the lake from here. The place we stayed before was just a large room w/bath (and another same for Bill), but there was a big balcony with a spectacular view of the lake.

I wrote this on Manfred's new iPad, and didn't know how to add photos, so now I used the computer to put this one on. Here we are, on one of the high pastures where the cows stay in the summer. Click the photo to see it bigger. (It's me, taking a photo  of Bill.)
