Below are a few random photos from the end of April and beginning of May. On May Day (1 May) Robert and I took a nice stroll through the Graz Stadtpark. All the spring flowers were in bloom and it was a lovely day to be out and about. May 1^st is a national holiday in Austria. It is their Labor Day, so all the schools and businesses had the day off.

Kathryn is a good friend from Michigan, who came to visit us. She spent three weeks in Austria traveling around. She came to Graz for a couple of days and we had a lovely time visiting and treating her to a traditional home-cooked Austrian meal. We have known Kathryn for a few years. We met her at Irish folk dancing in Grand Rapids and she is also one of my voice students. It was very nice to see a familiar friendly face from the USA!
