School day in Austria! The temperature climbed to historic heights, but we kept going.
Our first meeting brought us to Ober-Grafendorf. The mayor and children from the nearby primary school awaited us on the main square...
The kids prepared balloons with greeting messages attached...
..ready to go: three, two, one....
...and the good wishes got air-borne.
The children performed for us...
The mayor invited our team members to sign the golden book of the city: the Peace Run got a full page!
Thank you for the heartfelt meeting!
We reached Neulengbach and the kids lined up on the school-sportsfield.
A packed presentation, as everybody tried to be in the shade....
After passing the torch we took all the kids for a symbolic run around the field.
Thanks for the enthusiasm!
A group of children joined us further for a 2-km run along a cycling path.
Great running! Thanks for the fun!
Eichgraben was next: first we went to the "Neue Schule", a lovely place hidden in the forest (and uphill!)
A real nice meeting. Thanks alot!
The primary school Eichgraben was next. The temperature was close to 40C.
We had a joyful presentation...
...and all the children ran with us to the city hall.
...a musical performance - including the "Peace Rap".
The community representative treated all of us for ice cream - that's a perfect finish!
Pressbaum was next:
kids from the primary school awaited us...
They really worked hard for the certificate!
...its hard to blow out the flame....
A small, but a very joyful meeting! Thank you for the friendship!
