Castle Hump Day

The Academy Awards come alive with Lady Gaga singing the Sound of Music’s anthem and gets a standing ovation. The 50-year-old Sound of music movie takes place during World War II at this beautiful castle “Schloss Leopoldskron” outside of Salzburg in Austria .
The von Trapp kids running around the golden flowered fields surrounded by spectacular blue Alps as Julie Andrews leads them in a sing along. Then they escape to America.
My favorite breakfast room is on the second floor next to the wooden library with a 30-foot ceiling, where I would get emails on an old IBM computer, on an antique desk at the window with views “Oh the views”. I felt like James Bond staying there. A truly special experience.
The movie is still a big hit with Americans; but the funny thing is very few people in Austria have ever seen or heard of the movie.
Enjoy your Hump day.
