As we drove through the mountains, our first major stop was in a village called Mondsee, which is where the wedding took place in "The Sound of Music".
(The side of the church is on the left.)
Walking through the streets of Mondsee
(There weren't that many; it was only a couple of blocks wide and long.)
Getting closer to the church
I wonder who names stores...??
Still walking...
Mondsee's city hall building
The 3 of us ate here after touring the church.
Here is is!!! The church where Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer got "married".
Interestingly, there was an actual wedding there, but it was in a side building so as not to interfere w/ us tourists. :)
The wedding party had a Hummer limo. It was AMAAAAZING!
Going into the church
This was a side room that wasn't seen in the film.
You can buy holy water.
I did not. :-P
Here, I'm in the aisle that Maria walked down while the nuns sang, "How To Solve A Problem Like Maria".
I pretended I was Maria. :-)
Actually, we all did.
Whatever this is (pipes), they were featured in the film. (I didn't know this at the time I took the photo; I found it out when we watched the movie at our hostel later that night.)
At the "wedding altar"
Later that night, when we were watching the movie, we freaked out during the wedding scene. We kept squealing and saying things like, "WE WERE THERE TODAY! WE SAW THAT!!"
I'm fairly certain we annoyed the few people around us, but, oh well.
The front area, where the nuns got Maria ready, is now a chintzy souvenir gift shop.
Tracy and I got coffee and dessert afterwards. (The bus ride was making me motion sick.)
Random stores we saw across from the church

An old but well-maintained building
