Vienna Photoshoot and Travels to Graz

This day was mostly spent relaxing. I could feel it in my legs from the day before, and I was still just over this cold so I really wanted to take care of myself (plus all the wine made me groggy waking up). I also had some planning to do on the computer, so I was busy busy busy sitting on the couch on my little laptop. I didn't really do anything too exciting - made pizza, ate it, watched Weeds with a few people that night, and ate homemade Tiramisu! It was a good day!

My planning involved going to Graz the next day on my way south to Ljubljana to meet up with friends going there. I wanted to take some photos of Vienna though, and I was going to hunt for some wool to make something with, so off I went!

I had a day ticket for transit so I was able to run around taking photos! I managed to find my wool (yay!) and get home, pack, and go to the train station. Within an hour I was on the train to Graz, Austria :)

I arrived in the evening. I had no problem finding the apartment building, although getting into the actual apartment was a challenge... I got into the building with the mailman, but I hadn't written down Misha's last name so I had no idea what button to push. I was not getting an answer from my texts, so I had to guess what house it might be. Someone was coming out of their door and we managed to figure it out.

This turned into an epic drunken wine night. We started at the house, and took some with us. We wandered about the city (not in the centre but somewhere else)...

and ate some kebab. We were sitting eating kebab after the adventure walk, when we noticed there was this nice church behind us. We could hop the little fence, so we did. We threw plums that were given to us from the kebab people at the church; I was elated! We saw a nice green area over another small fence so we went above that...

it was a backyard. We sat on a bench and read the paper, he saw his friend in it so he ripped out that piece and we left the paper for them to be confused the next day.
We walked by another building and the door opened so we went in. It was just a passage into the communal garden thing of some group of buildings, so we walked around and left.

This was a big adventure! We headed back and proceeded to drink even more wine and watch stupid hilarious shows on the internet :D
