Aliens are always nice.

     The streets are like nice little fine pieces of cake. You know when you cut that slice perfectly and it looks scrumptious on the tiny tea plate? Well Austrias neighborhood front lawns are the same.
     The houses are little doll houses. With my favourite one painted green and it had a stone grandfather clock outside and the vines growing to the sky.
    We arrive in an early morning and take a walk through town searching for a place. Our map brings us through streets and a river. The day is early with clouds and chirping birds. A little rain falls. And we see our first most beautiful Austrian mountains.
     We tour a town called Salzburg and it's good and it's grand. What I loved most was the land. Hah I'm a poet. Jaykayelohel
    We discovered that soft pretzels must be the Salzburg jams cause they sold them big beauties everywhere. We ate pretzels and coffee in a plaza park. And I played human-chess with a Chinese boy and he almost beat me. Luckily a toddler came and ruined the game and also the Chinese boy started cheating. But he was cute and asked for a championship picture afterward.
We're chess pals now.
      Cable cars up into castles. That was a first time. It was steep and might have been a good rollercoaster if it lasted longer than one minute. Inside this castle there was a room about puppets on a string (it is Salzburg and remember the VonTrapp children did a show once) well, in this room I opened a puppet door and it screamed and scared the creepin jeepers outta me.
    Salzburg is also the birth place of Mozart. And he was such a genius. You should probably stop right now and listen to his pieces and his operas and his everything. Also. What I didn't know. Is his sister was a pretty genius too and had some amazing talent. But she laid a lot of it aside for her lil bro to become famous.
   Mozart and his music y'all.
We did a tour of the Sound Of Music. Booyyyy do I love thet. It will forever be my favourite mvovieee.musicandmaria.
How do you solve problem like her?
    GUYS. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SALZBURG AUSTRIA.
The people!
The people. The people.
The people are more nice than maybe anywhere. They must all come from a another planet we haven't discovered yet, so I've made a new mission to look for it. Or maybe they have really good hearts and that's just so sad that it's such a rarity to find.
We walked searching for our street and even a bus driver stopped from driving to ask us if we need help. Then a little elder lady as nice as pie itself, was walking her big dog,and she stops us saying "Good morning! Can I help you with something?"
... I know you're probably thinking we must have looked very lost, but really we weren't (promise) the people are so nice they just want to talk and make sure you're okay. How many times have you stopped someone just to check up on them? Hmmm.
    Once I screamed in the middle of the street. Because! Becauseeee get this. I saw the most recognizable sign of my life.
Guys! I found Aldi in Austria!!
(PS. I just took a break and made a probably too long Snapchat story about how I just discovered I add S to Aldi's. At least until now. Hah. Not today Bob) 
It's name here is Hoover. (That's Aldi)
I kinda like that and will probably adopt that as my new name for it.
But suruslyall. I felt at home just because of this familiar Hoover sign. 
Life is good in Austria when Hoover is around. Life was good for me in Austria because I bought soft pretzels and fruit from Hoover. And mostly because it was gorgeous but even more mostly because the people are aliens and nice.
I always knew aliens were real.
They're all over Austria. 
I'll probably move there and learn to be like the aliens. I love them.
