graz

26. june

after the wedding my mom, sister, ryanne, and i drove down to graz where my mom's vet hospital is. graz is a totally different corner of austria, but that doesnt matter cause austria fits between sf and la (and has a population of about the bay area). the city was declared 'culture capital of europe' of the year 2003, so its small but there is a lot of cool stuff. btw graz is in the steiermark which is arnie country.





church is in a suburb of graz called voitsberg
its designed by friedrich hundertwasser (also did the don quixote winery in napa)





small mountain at the center of graz with famous bell tower



inside that mountain there is a lift to the top



view from the top
notice the crazy looking blue thing and the artificial island in the river




the island...







...is actually an extremly cool bar



the porcupine up closer turns out to be a moma (surprise)
