13 March 2009

This morning mom and I woke up and got ready for Roman to pick us up at 9. Going down for breakfast, it was odd becuase we had to pay (no executive lounge, remember?). Getting picked up, we drove out to meet Oliver (his son) and get a tour of where he works at Scalaris in St.Wolfgang. Scalaris is a high end hotel and event centre. It overlooks the lake, and it absolutely beautiful with panoramic views and an amazing stage. After this, mom, Roman and I carried on to Slazburg and Moarthaus.

Arriving in Salzburg, Roman- again- had no idea where he was going. Asking for directions twice he decided not to listen to them, claiming they were foreigners and `Didn't know what they were talking about`. Finall, I took out my Europe book, and convinced him where to go- and we some how made it. I couldn't help but think that Grandpa would be going crazy if THAT was the route they took every time!

Walking us to the house, he then bid us farewell (after a deathly handshake) and we were at Mozarthaus. Visiting both his childhood home and teenage home across the river, we learned about the time period and his compositions, but they conveinently skipped over the part where he was a complete rascal! Then, following Grandpa's tradition, we bought posters to add to mom's collection, and headed out for dinner.

Back in the hotel room, there is no executive lounge, no movie channel, and no store. Mom's in bed drinking whine, and looking at tours for tomorrow. I can't believe our trip is almost done- I'm not ready.

OH! The best part, when we were trying to figure out wake-up call and such, mom (drinking wine in bed) asked me if we should get room service, or if that was too 'decidant,' I then reminded her....she was drinking WINE in BED!

That's all for now, there's some snobbing lady waiting for the internet, and I should probably get a couple minutes of sleep before tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Love,
Creighton
