Thanksgiving in Snowy Salzburg

The wonderful white stuff is still around come Sunday - albeit slowly melting away! If the snow's gonna stay, the temperature has to stay low....there'll be more snow later, for now I'm happier for the temperature to rise a little :D The view in Salzburg itself is also benefiting from the white make-over - the mountains and the old town are gorgeous covered in snow.

Today is Thanksgiving Dinner day at Church (Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday) - a sign of the many Americans at the Church, but who's complaining when there's food and fellowship to be had? After helping set up and decorate for the occasion I spend the arvo with Miriam - first off as 'the audience' for a quick practice, then we have a rivetting game of Rummikub :D


Come 4pm we are back at Church - the place smells great, and is buzzing with about 60 people. The food and company is great, especially the dessert. Afterwards there is nice sing-along entertainment from the Icelandic contingent, and later again some more entertainment from the next generation down.

I let my camera loose and get some surprising results - some artistic.....

.....others just a little crazy!


Another wonderful Sunday in Salzburg - made all the more magical by that lovely white stuff!
