My lady friend, Sonja Wagner, and I took advantage of the Easter holiday to make a trip to West Styria. We live near Linz in the north of Austria. Because my partner comes from the Graz area, we have some acquaintances in Styria. We left home by car on Holy Thursday, having arranged to meet up with various friends at an inn near Graz that afternoon. In the course of that get-together, my partner consumed an excessive and injurious amount of alcohol (a liter of white wine, six one-ounce shots of tequila, and a questionable amount of beer). Early the next morning, around 5:00 a.m., I had to take a room at the inn and put her to bed. It was 2:00 p.m. on Good Friday when my partner emerged from her alcoholic stupor. We drove the relatively short distance to our friends, Heinrich and Eva Stubenrauch, who reside at No. 6 Kaibing, 8537 Kaibing. We got there around 3:00 p.m. and received a warm welcome. A snack was prepared for us and, because of the fine weather prevailing, served on a big wooden table outside.
