papa left on the 5am flight from vienna but mama came to graz. she didn't tell us what bus she was on so she just showed up on her own with all her luggage. the first thing she did was inspect the windows. she was mostly happy except now the rollos seem extra ultra shabby in comparison.

steps for making a strudel:
chop hundreds of apples in the cold until your fingers are numb
find strudelboard - oh it's in the very back of the towels cabinet
take all towels out of the cabinet
take strudelboard and arrange it on the floor
watch mama work magic with her very thin dough

meanwhile brian is running the x-trail race on the schoeckl which includes him running down and up the schoeckl in each of four cardinal directions. the race starts and ends at the top of the mountain. most people drive/cable up. actually all people except brian. the announcer (who had recognized brian running to the mountain along the road by his hair) announced each time "brian roberts, who ran here this morning from graz...." very impressive. let's see how his legs feel.
ingrid cz came by to test our still warm apple strudel and approved. she brought us extra grapes from a very heavy harvest and we somehow convinced her to come with us on our trip up to the top of the dachstein tomorrow. well, the day after. tomorrow we just take the bus and the day after we have to go alpine climbing if the weather is decent enough for the alpine guide to take us.
