There are Buschenschank taverns in the federal provinces of Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland, Styria, Carinthia and Tirol; they are subject to the special trading regulations (owners of a Buschenschank need a special license; they are permitted to sell their products tax-free during a limited time of the year only; if the Buschenschank is open, the custom is to display a "Buschen", or bunch of evergreen boughs, over the entrance). {source}
Last week I went with my friend Anita, her 3 girls and her parents to a cute little town, Leibnitz, where we did some shopping and then down a little further south to a beauty Buschenschank.
We sat here:

This is where the Styria wine region starts..you can see the vineyards. And you could also see the mountains in Slovenia not too far off.


A little head (Eva) popped up to be in the pic

It is very common in Austria to add sparkling water to fruit juice. They call it a G'Spritzer.
Here we had fresh grape juice G'Spritz. It's really good. I don't like plain sparkling water at all, but it adds
some nice pizazz to fruit juice.

One of the liitle wooden snack plates. Everything is cold, snacky food at a Buschenschank.

Dark photo, but this is my friend Anita (met from her blog and lived in Dallas). Her girls took this pic of her.

I got a salad too. I was the only one that ordered something extra. Fatty...you can see my mouth is full too.

This guy was roasting walnuts. Anita says I am really missing out since I haven't tried to roasted chestnuts
they sell on the streets everywhere at this time of year. I will try them soon!

Hannah and Stella with their Polly Pockets (a prize attached to a magazine they asked their mom for.)
The magazine was a nice addition, but the Polly Pockets were the draw. {Just like when you bought a
cereal and dumped it all out on the counter to find the stupid toy at the bottom.}

Although this was the magazine. I thought it was cool.

And here's a map of where we were. {Mainly for my mom who be lovin' her maps}

Poor Art was hard at work while I was here. I will take him soon.

It looks beautiful and the food looks good too. I really would love to see all of this in person. You are going to have so much fun with your Mom and Dad when they come. I went by to visit them today and saw your sweet Tye. He says he's missing you.
I just don't understand how you can live in a place that beautiful. I am looking out my window at the darkness and pouring rain, traffic, and high rises. Sigh.

I like how there is grated horseradish on the plate...if only Tony and I were there, I'd earn $50 for putting it in my mouth for 60 sec and then swallowing it.
Your pictures are postcard-esque. BEAUTY!!!!
that looked like such a GREAT day!
Great thoughts you got there, believe I may possibly try just some of it throughout my daily life.
