On Monday we had our optional excursion to the Armory ("Zeughaus"), where the city has a large stockpile of arms from the middle ages and early modernity. Pictures of our trip to the Armory can be found here:<br />

We also spent one afternoon in the park, where this building was with a stereotypically long German word, which means (I think) "general place for experiments with forms of art". <br />

Time flies when you're having fun! The big highlight of this past week was our excursion to the city Klagenfurt and a boat ride on the nearby Wörthersee. In Klagenfurt we had a tour guide who brought his Dachshund with him for the tour.<br />

Despite the shock from Saturday, our school week has been very nice--and busy! We began regular classes on Monday, had an optional jog on Tuesday, visited the park on Thursday for sports, and visited the nearby Baroque mansion Schloss Eggenberg on Friday. On the premises of this Schloss were live peacocks, and student Jami Pfau (whose last name is German for "peacock") was especially excited.<br />
<br />

This Friday we had a city tour of Graz. In addition to seeing magnificent churches and solemn war monuments, we were treated to a private meeting with Gemeinderat Magister Klaus Frölich. We were even privileged to go out onto the honor balcony, which is usually reserved only for important celebrities and politicians.<br />
