Rupertikirtag Festivities

9.20
Yesterday was the kick off of the Rupertikirtag Feiern which is Salzburg's town festival. In true Austrian fashion, all the men whip out their lederhosen and the women their dirndln! It is very amusing. They have every 'traditional' food imaginable, though I had to limit myself to a pretzel and a schaumrolle, which is basically a marshmallowy cream filled croissant. However, the festivities continue until Wednesday, so I have ample opportunity to sample the other variety of foods!

Without a doubt, the highlight of the day was a group of teenage boys dancing in the shortest lederhosen I have ever seen...you'll just have to take a look for yourself!
