A Spring Ball Preview

We were here today.  Want to see the inside?

It is the University of Graz.  The inauguration for this building was 1895 - and it is lovely.  This room is 25 meters X 14 and the ceilings are 12 meters high.  Big room!  We were there as part of the sound check for a ball that they are having there tonight.  Want to see the some of the decorations?  I thought so.

Some of the dining areas were sectioned off with dividers of flowers.

And a photo of my son as we were on our way out.  The building is just really amazing - and big!

The sound check went well and we had fun - a little preview of the events for tonight including a good sampling of the music and watching the dancers practice.  The worker bees were scurring around doing last-minute flowers, etc.  Short and sweet and perfect for a 6 year old!  Not only that - we got to see it all in the daytime!  The ball is from 8 pm to 2 am.

I have a TON of blogging to catch up on, but thought this beautiful building deserved its own post.  We are outside alot right now and my days just seem to evaporate in the sunshine!
