People always love to have fun at the pool during the summer.
This is the city pool in Siegendorf.
This is the Children's Festival at Burg Forchtenstein. Kids everywhere love to play with baby animals.
They had all kinds of booths with carnival games, face makeup, wooden swords, etc.
We saw this hot air balloon one day in Eisenstadt. It's advertising ice cream.
This farm in nearby Pottsching is representative of all area farms in late summer.
This barn looks a few hundred years old.
This quiet pond in nearby Zagersdorf is an oasis of serenity.
Sunflower fields are common in this area like this one in nearby Zemendorf.
This perfect flower will never grace a vase; they're grown for the oil.
This bench invites respite in a miniature park in Eisenstadt. I thought it was concrete at first, but we think it's fiberglass.
Two-way traffic, speed limit about 44 mph.
This is to let you know a village is coming up with the little island designed to slow traffic down. I especially like the exclamation point.
It does seem to slow the traffic down although people will wildly pass you to get to the village first - they save about two to three seconds.
This is the typical two-way traffic and speed limit sign you see on roads outside the villages. Speed limit is 62.5 mph.
This is supposed to deter drunk driving. I don't know if it works, or if it's because of the strict punishments for drunk driving, but when they hold big events downstairs at Burschi's, we saw taxis dropping off and picking up all night long.
You can see the 1638 date on this old wall in nearby Wulkaprodersdorf.

The Wulka River may look like a sleepy creek, but appearances can be deceiving. Because they don't have drainage ditches over here like we do in Houston, this little river can overflow its banks and flood basements and streets in the village. They've had to call out the army to help after flooding.
