Margit, Angie, Tim, Todd, and I decided to visit Hallein, where Margit and I lived as young children.

In a short while, my godfather, Hans, surprised us by meeting us in the old city. He gave us the grand tour of Hallein.

Here is the building where I was born. It used to be a hospital.

We lived on the third floor of this house. There was a store at steet level.

Hans treated us to Italian ice cream (I had the tiramisu flavor) and then left us to find our own way back to the train. We bought cheese, meats, bread, and beverages in a grocery store and had lunch in a park while waiting for our train back to Salzburg.

We got on a train heading away from Salzburg and ended up in Golling-Abtenau instead!

We enjoyed our short walk around Golling-Abtenau and caught the next train back to Salzburg.
