A Rainy Day in Salzburg

Today was the only day that it rained on us. You can see in the picture of St. Florian how gray the skies are. St. Florian is the patron of Austria; statues and pictures of him abound. He was a commander in the Roman army and was martyred c. 304 by being thrown into the Enns River with a stone tied to his neck. He is also the patron saint of firefighters; you can see him emptying a bucket of water.
