Just a short note about the weekend we spend in Mariazell. Leonhard Paul of Mnozil Brass invited us to spend the weekend at the Musikanten Wallfahrt, a kind of Folk Music Pilgrimage that happens only every four years. Mariazell is a destination for Catholic pilgrims all over Europe, and boasts a magnificent 12 century Basilika. Anyways, Mnozil was a featured group.
More about all this later, with some cool videos. We took an historic (meaning old and slow) train to get to the mountain town. Here are just a few pics:
1. The Basilica
2. The boys, on a open square in town.
3. Marisa, looking pretty Euro!
4 and 5. The boys yucking it up with mom. Ben is repeating his standard joke for the trip: "Look, mom, a beautiful town, next to a beautiful lake, beside a beautiful mountain. Wow! I haven't seen that before on this trip!!" Eleven years old and already a cynic!
5. The Basilica at night.
More later, thanks for stopping by.
