or Eichenau, Germany. We made a 'souvenir shopping' stop in Salzburg so the boys could get some things from Austria. They were all happy to spend their money on the little trinkets around town. Some boys bought beer steins, others bought shot glasses, and who can forget, of course, Mozart Balls! We walked through the city and made a quick stop at Mozart's birth-house and snapped a picture. We only had a couple of hours to walk around and shop because we had to arrive in Eichenau by 4:00.One of the things I noticed is that the boys are very easily amused by street performers--mimes. Everytime we passed one we had to stop, take pictures, and pose with him/her. It gets pretty comical, really. Anyway...there was one man who was levitating and was convincing quite a few people (including Andy)! He was sitting cross-legged, holding a wooden cane, and was 'levi
tating' over the rug. But the boys, being their typical mischievous selves, decided to go pick up the rug and expose the metal plate below the rug... Boys will be boys, right?Back on the bus, we had another journal check to make sure they'd all be caught up by the time we get home. When we finally arrived in Eichenau, we split into host homes to settle in and eat some dinner. The boys reconvened around 6:30 at the church to warm up for the 7:30 p.m. concert (last full concert of the tour)! The boys sang very well and received a rating of "10" from Francis. The boys keep reminding the staff that we owe them Ice Cream--hopefully we can find a spot in Stuttgart to get some for the boys. They've been working very hard this whole tour, and they really deserve it!
