The 14 of us that were planning to go to Munich all met up on the first floor of the college. We all went to the train station together to get the tickets which were only 6 Euros a piece roundtrip. The OBB has a deal for 3 to five people traveling from Salzburg to Munich for 30 Euros roundtrip for a day. It includes train ticket and the public transportation system in Munich while your there. However, everything is so close together in Munich, there isn't too much reason to use it unless you're in a hurry get to something.
After the train station, the 14 of us split up, some went to the outlet mall by the airport, the rest of us elected to go to Europark again to walk around since it was raining. We all agreed to meet up at the school by 6:30 to then walk over to the Christian International Church for the concert our professors were giving.
It was a magnificent concert. All Schuman Lead (Schuman Art Song). Dr. Hardenbergh and Yvonne were both very glad to see the number of us that showed up, it was probably close to 25 of us if not a bit more. Yvonne said it was wonderful to look out into the audience while performing and seeing our "shining faces" sitting forward and soaking it all in. I know from experience it's nice to have an appreciative audience.
After the concert we met a couple of the members of the church who are also from the state. One young man, close in age to all of us, is here studying some sort of bio-chemical engineering (or something of the sort) and is here until November. He joined our group as we headed into town and went to see The Magic Flue on the screen in one of the squares. The production was from a previous Salzburg Festival year. It was an updated version with Papageno dressed as a calypso guy with dreads and Tamino in a business suite. I stayed through the Queen of the Night Aria then went to catch my bus to go home and get some sleep before the trip to Munich.
