Graz revisited

A short ride to Graz on well maintained bike paths. Meet up with Isa again, this time in her new place. Instead of living alone, she now lives in a WG with three others. They have a vegetable patch and grow apples, Isabella grapes and quinces    They make various jams, compotes, juices and sauces from their produce. Especially delicious is the banana chutney. 
After eating outside in the garden on this sunny afternoon, we take a bike ride around the neighboring hilltops for a better view. In the beech forest, Isa points out all the local flora and tells me of the 'tree people'. We also find a very camouflaged frog - just under Isa's wrist in photo. 
Later that evening, we all head out to a music performance by Max & his band. I try some schillingsturm (young, sparkling, pink wine). Then there is an impromptu yodeling performance in the bar. 
Next day we chill out and go to a local farmers' market before I hit the road northwards.
