^ Waking up in Salzburg makes both of us happy. We set off to walk around the city. Some Italian tourists asked us to take their picture in front of a fountain, so after Matthew had done so I asked them if they would do the same in return.
^ We headed to the post office to mail post cards. When we bought stamps, the vendor asked us, "May I ask you? You say 'Have a wonderful day.' How do I respond?" Matthew answered, "You, too." We both found the enchange so endearing...
^ We went to our favorite Italian restaurant in Salzburg, after much wandering, and had a lengthy filling meal. We narrowly avoided a tremendous downpour and managed to walk back to our hotel in glorious sun. We walked through a beautiful garden Matthew discovered last time we were in the city. He figured out how to use the timer on the camera and we squatted to be at the level of the bench where we placed it.
^ After that, we took a series of timer-controlled photos as we strolled.
^ I am waiting for Matthew to set up the timer and get in the shot.
^ We pose together, happy.
^ We take the photo again because Matthew wants a larger format size...
^ Back in the room, Matthew takes one more picture, scrunching onto my side of the bed after running in from the other room.
