Meine Schwester kommt

My sister Kim arrived yesterday in Graz.  Her flight out of Detroit was delayed by four hours, which put her on a different plane into Graz out of Frankfurt.  She arrived here 6p local time, which was noon body-clock time with very little sleep.  She was pretty darn tired and we had to entertain her quite a bit to keep her up to 10p.

She slept really well and today we've had her out walking seeing the sights of Graz:  the Mür (the river through Graz), Augarten park (right across the Mür from our apartment), Jackominiplatz (central point of transfer), Herrengasse (our Miracle Mile), Hauptplatz (main square), the Inner Stadt (the old city), Stiegenkirche (the oldest church in Graz?), Doppletreppe (double helix staircase), Scholssbergbahn (the funicular train up to the top of Graz), lunch overlooking the city with Berner Wurstle (cheese-filled brat wrapped in bacon), Spatzle, Pommes (french fries), and a Radler, ice cream, and bus and tram rides to get around.  She's now napping before dinner :-)



I hope she continues to hold up.  We head to Slovenia, Italy and Croatia for the weekend!
