Salzburg

I am in Salzburg right now and its really cool. Its kind of nestled in the outskirts of the Alps, so there are a bunch of little mountains around the city. There is a giant fortress on top of one of these mountains that looms directly over the city. We went up to it yesterday and I got a ton of good pictures of the city. Salzburg also has the best beer garden I've been to yet, the Augustiner Bier Stübe. Its really big and awesome. They give you a liter ceramic mug and then fill your beer out of a giant wooden barrel. Then you get to go out and sit under the trees in the giant garden part. I also visited the Stiegl brewery today, cause since we've gotten to Austria we've been going to town on their beer. The brewery was cool, but the tour itself wasn't all that spectacular. I did find out that they make pony kegs, so I need to find one to get my hands on in the US.
