Prost!

Thanks to Salzburg's patron saint, St. Rupert, the city hosts a festival each
year in his honor. And it just so happens that this year, we were in town to enjoy it.

Rupert stands tall and proud in his square of perfectly manicured shrub-trees
and green, green grass. Happy as a clam.

Rides and food-stands galore, and everyone in the town is out.

Also, there are many people dressed in the traditional Bavarian getup- dirndls
for the women and lederhosen for the men(and some of the women).

Stiegl has its own tent devoted entirely to eating and drinking...well...Stiegl of course.
What'll it be? Bratwurst? 1/2 a chicken? Fries?

The pretzels are out of this world and can be found on most any city block.

At the top of the ferris wheel looking over one big party down below.

Prost!
And the band plays on.
Goodbye Salzburg.
