yo - my streets are narrower than yours

if little european countries can talk to each other, i would imagine they'd be having a street narrowness battle, yaknowwhattamsayin?

quick side note.  it's really cold.  i'm drinking hot water with lemon and honey right now (out of tea!).  i should drink hot water more often.  it's as cold here now as it was in salzburg when we were there (segway not intended! lol)

and then there was cozy little salzburg.  cozy, and yet so vast (see pictures below with alps foothills in the background)...and little cobblestone streets and stairs leading through very old buildings/neighborhoods. or castles.  and in case you were living under a rock like i was - or just never happened to watch the sound of music, that's where most of the movie was filmed :)  i didn't do my homework and watched the movie AFTER we came home from the trip - it made it so much more special.

we didn't spend too much time there so all of what we saw was touristy.  the streets were filled during the day, but they emptied up pretty quick come evening.  places close up shop earlier there which was surprising to us.  wes and i wanted to go out for a drink or something, but the it was pretty sparse by then.

and of course there's always more here.  next up is vienna.  actually vienna happened before salzburg - i kind of lost track.

have a good night!

ps. i started at my job as an official stylist this last saturday.  so cool! one of the original purposes of this blog was to track my progress from the very start (i.e. deciding to go to beauty school).  very happy i stuck to it ya know.  makes this so rewarding.
