Wow, 3 weeks late - here comes Graz. The faithful mall internet has failed me. I wondered if I had been blocked for using it too much, but here it is again!
Sunday morning was the most beautiful Easter morning I have ever had. Taking the train from Vienna to Graz goes directly through the Alps. I like that a lot (more on the Alps next week I hope!)!
I forgot what most of this is called, but there is this big rock in the middle of town that you can go up via windy path or by train (incline really). At the top is this cool building and nice view.
Top left is “The Friendly Alien” - a design museum that looked awesome but we arrived after it closed. So sad. On the river is the manmade island that looks like a shell. The open part of the shell is an amphitheater and the closed part is a cafe. We enjoyed coffee there (I settled for hot chocolate, but Karen insisted on the weird espresso with egg yoke in it.
There is the group shot with Markus who we were visiting.
That night we all went and played pool which was fun. I hadn't played much in a long time. I finally started to get the hang of it again.
The next morning we headed to a castle outside the city of which I have no pictures, but there were lots of peacocks. The scenery was lovely. It was the one blue sky of the trip which made it all the more terrific. After a nice lunch we found the train and made our way home to begin another week of solving the world’s performance footwear problems at PUMA.
My parents are here this week! Tuesday to Monday. You’ll hear about it later. Fun stuff planned. Should be lovely!
