We just got back from the feis in Salzburg. Bean did SO well!! Here she is in her dress (yes, it's bright! no, the reflection isn't from the dress! LOL), heavy shoes and wig: 
She placed really well in all her events. Her best placement was 4th in the Beginner Hornpipes. She's doing so well for someone who is new to competing in dance.
One of the highlights of the trip was meeting Dean Crouch. His Irish Dance CD is our absolute favorite, especially the Reel Medley 1. It was actually that tune that inspired me to finally polish up my Primary Reel! If you think Dean looks like a baby, you are right! He is a former World Champion Irish Dancer, has 2 CDs of music available and he's only 17!!!
Because of long hours at the feis, we didn't get a chance to do too much sightseeing. We found this lovely fountain as we were walking to a restaurant on Saturday evening:
After dinner, while walking back to our hotel, we happened across this site. It is the graveyard that inspired the cemetary scene from The Sound of Music!
There will be another feis in Salzburg around this time next year. Bean and I plan to go up a day early and actually tour the city a bit.
TTFN!
