different cafés and take too many foliage photos.
There was one Graz landmark we had not seen yet:
The double spiral staircase {or the better name: Doppelwendeltreppe}
This photo is from Flickr because it is almost impossible to get a photo
unless you have a fisheye lens. It's very narrow, but here you can see
how the two spiral staircases meet up with each other in the middle.
A little history:
The Burg was built in 1438-1452 by Frederik III, who resided many
years in Graz. It remained the residence of the sovereigns of Lower
Austria until the court was moved to Vienna in 1619. Today it houses
the seat of the Styrian provincial government.

the cathedral is across the street
and we were loving this red bomb
Inside the Opera House...Sound of Music is playing now...

Cute house on our walk home
And the one picture Art took while in Trieste, Italy.

View from his room.
We have a national holiday today. Austria declared neutrality back in 1955 on this day.
Art didn't tell me that. I house lots of random historical data in this ole noggin.
And we turned our clocks back an hour this weekend, so we're an hour closer in time to you...
for just a week or so.

That house is adorable. And I love the snowflake additions at the top!
Fantastic buildings... they just don't make them like that in the States. That is one of the things that I love about living in Europe, I never get tired of the gorgeous architecture.
