I've been in Salzburg, nice town. But not where I am now.
In Salzburg there's a beautiful castle on a hilltop overlooking the Inn River that my parents used to take me to on nice days. There's a large pool on one of the stone decks overlooking the valley, with a scary gargoyle face on the wall spewing water from its mouth into the pool...I still recall being afraid to look at it when I was little...now I would kick its ass! or jump into the pool...but I clearly remember the sensual pleasure and feeling of perfect safety as I wrapped my mom's dress over my face so I didn't have to look at it. There was also a garden outside the castle with a high wrought iron fence and a lot of deer inside; I recall throwing pieces of bread to the fawns and being upset that the big deer ate the bread.
