Apparently the whole dragon obsession in klagenfurt is because mythically, there was this "firewirm" storming the countryside. When it was killed by some guy (I know, so specific) that was when they founded the city in the 1200's or somewhere around that.
Here's a couple sunny pics from last year's tournament to give you an idea of the mountains here:
I know this is a family blog-- but I have to add it. In the past two years I've seen this and refrained from taking a picture of it. The organizers always drive us in these little vans to the venue/hotel etc and my juvenile sense of humor always gets the best of me.
No food here so i'm gonna have to go w/ my bread and butter lunch til dinner at 6:30. I'm STARVING!
Talk to you soon!

"Ass-team" huh? Well, we'll rate you blog PG. For now anyway. :) Glad you got there fine. Klag looks pretty even in gray weather. Gosh, your room looks sweet!
That's great you made in there intact. Did you break down your sabers and just take the suitcase?
I e-mailed Cathy. It doesn't look like I can go to Havana for the tournament. So, I'll be in Las Vegas with you!
Good luck tomorrow. I loveyou!
Hi from Ohio--also glad you made it luggage and all! Wow! I love the view from your room. Nifty room too! How could you resist the photo of "ass.team" Oh well, anything the keep the Americans laughing!
Love and my very best wishes for tomorrow.

Yep, I broke them down and used a shoulder bag that my teammate Julia has to hold my blades and trombone (yes, I took it... couldn't help myself). Unfortunatly, I brought the wrong right shoe!!! This ones' falling apart and I'm pondering using my right puma instead. I knew I'd forget something-- i should have lookd harder at what I was picking up out of my locker.
