At the end of the Christmas break in early 2009, my friend Jennica and I met up in Graz for a tour of the capital of Steiermark in southeastern Austria. It was a nice overnight trip, with just enough things to keep us entertained for about 24 hours. The train ride from Salzburg was also spectacular because it was directly through the alps. The art museum was really quite cool, especially because of the blob shape with tentacles design to the museum building. There was a lot of this interesting mix of new and old there with the Insel in the Mur river and a remake of the Statue of Liberty. And like just about everywhere in Austria, there were beautiful views.
