Well there is some justice after all. Both the Dodgers and the Angels suffered major losses today in Game 1 of the playoffs. It sort of helps make up for the fact that the Padres aren't in the post season.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right, ...
I'm rooting for the Angels. I've been to a few of their games, plus they are closer to SD than the Dodgers. I am also rooting against the Yankees. Them and the Braves have been in the playoffs enough. Give other teams a chance. Padres in 2005!
ReplyDeleteWell the Angels are choking right now, down 2 games. The Yankees fought back and won yesterday and the Dodgers play game 2 today. We can give a shout out to Millard who lives right by Yankee stadium but if it comes down to it, go Red Sox!
