| Mmm, schnitzel und bier! |
Welcome to Graz! Today we officially introduced George to this beautiful city. First stop, lunch at the Glöckl Bräu for the enormous classic Schnitzel im Kürbiskernmantel (Styrian green pumpkin seeds) - so tasty!
George's favorite place on the trip so far has been the double spiral staircase. He absolutely delighted in watching Mommy disappear and reappear as we ascended and then descended the stairs. The stone steps were a little too high for George to crawl up on his own, but maybe before we leave? We will certainly be returning to the staircase.

| So happy! |
We did a little shopping along the Herrengasse and even bought George a new bed time story book, so cute!

Then it was time to head back to the Glockenspielplatz for the 3:00pm dance of the barmaid and the drinking guy. George was a bit tired and hungry so we will have to try the glockenspiel again.

Needing a quiet and cool place to nurse, Nick suggested the cathedral and since Pope Francis is on record saying it is okay to breastfeed in the church we headed inside to feed the little guy... and to let him play a bit on the cool cathedral tiles!

| Now just a tired buddy |

Finally, back to the apartment to do some laundry and to let George play before bedtime. No thunderstorms that night so we enjoyed our dinner on the terrace followed by watching Wales beat Belgium in the UEFA quarterfinals.

| Home playtime is best! |
