The weekend before Christmas, my roommate and I celebrated the arrival of Christmas Break with a trip to Hallstatt, near Salzburg. This quaint town is located on a lake with mountains all around. We enjoyed wandering through the town, visiting a few Christmas markets, driving a rental car, and staying at a guest house run by a friendly, elderly couple.
Another gorgeous view just outside Hallstatt.
This is me in front of the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. My roommate and I have enjoyed having a live tree this year. We now know that it's necessary to request a fresh cut on the end of your Christmas tree trunk if you want it to draw up water. Even though our tree hasn't taken up water since we brought it home, it's retained it's color and vitality beautifully, even lasting well past Christmas and New Year's!
This is the Rathaus (City Hall) in Vienna, with an elaborate Christmas market set up in front of the building. I enjoyed visiting the market on Christmas Eve, the day it closed for the season. The top row of lighted windows on the Rathaus are decorated like an advent calendar. All the windows were open on this day.
