salzburger

yesterday while clint was at work i took a walk into the old town and explored the tiny city. salzburg is really nice and quiet, with a small city center. when clint got off work we went back to town to have a drink. then we had dinner back at the castle. after dinner, i sat in on the seminar. the theme was globalization and consumer capitalism... i found it to be quite interesting.

Salzburg Global Seminar invites academics from all different cultures and institutions to come and discuss global issues. its actually a pretty cool organization, and the presentation i saw was really intriguing. afterwards we were able to just mingle and chat with the participants in the courtyard.

then clint and i went to the other side of the pond to enjoy the whiskey we had bought at the store (and today i have a headache, to say the least).

today we woke up late and went on a hunt for a pharmacy....in the rain. then we went up to the top of untersberg (an intimidatingly huge mountain nearby) for lunch. now we are back at the castle - clint is napping while i update the blog and do laundry (which i desperately needed to do). and tonight we will have dinner here and then i am leaving on a midnight train to georgia.... i mean, switzerland. i have a hostel booked for tomorrow night and the next night in interlaken, and i am debating whether i should stop in zurich on the way there...the train to interlaken stops in zurich, so it would be cool to check it out. the problem is that it gets in there at 6:30am... so there prob wont be much to do. so most likely i will just continue on to interlaken.. i'll let ya know.

okok hope kyle's birthday was good. i sent him a message on facebook.

laterr.
