wiseheartToday we started with attending to Mass at the Franciscan Church. It was touching and beautiful and deeply human; it reconciled me with the Church a bit. If only we had priests like these in our parish...
Then we went to Eggenberg Castle, which was great. We visited the Old Gallery with its sculptures and paintings and altars of 500 years, from medieval times to late barock, saw the amazing Gothic Chapel and enjoyed the Castle itself with its amazing gardens.
In the evening, we watched football, of course, firing Germany on. Hey, Angela Merkel did the same, so we were in good company!

You've reminded me of a courtyard I used to pass through in Denmark as a university student there one semester. I was fascinated to see the workers on the roofs, fixing the tiles and the wooden frames beneath them, wearing just their clogs for footwear. Amazing!
