• Happy Birthday Arnold

    30 Temmuz 2024, Avusturya ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Arnold, athlete, actor, American. At least according to the 3-part documentary. We saw his museum is outside of Graz, hmmm only about an hour away. Wait, July 30 is his birthday? We’re going!!!
    Sure enough, it’s barely a village (pop 2,236) in the hills. But there are cars parked along the road, a banner is up, balloons and everything but cake.
    We get there in time for the pull-up contest. Young men, dads and their young boys, one guy takes off a suit coat and rips off about 15 in his dress shirt.
    Interesting museum with plenty of pictures and memorabilia from his career. Kind of disappointed Arnold didn’t show up but maybe he had a better option.
    Lunch at a cafe on the lake where he proposed to Maria Shriver, and found the “historic boat”!
    Back in time for naps, Olympic action, and dinner with our friends.
    Evenings are very nice and cool, into the mid-60s. It’s a great summer.
    Adio!
