Another week of work, work, school, and work. These have to be the most boring parts of anyone's life. This week I hosted people from Canada and American Samoa. A typical week of hosting involves taking them to Mexico and reviewing operations there, followed by a long traditional Mexican dinner, followed by a two hour drive to Anaheim. The next day is full of US operations review, meetings, lots of driving, and a long California dinner. This repeats again on day three and all activities are part of discovery or preliminary business negotiations. The end result is that I am totally burnt out on Friday and spend the weekend writing papers as usual. Monday morning I leave for St. Louis for the rest of the week. Today is unpack and repack all in one. I might as well prepack another suitcase for Peru, then I can come home Friday, drop one bag on the floor and have the Saturday bag ready to go.

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,
Stained Glass - Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro
Yesterday's tour included a quick stop to run inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and take photos of the stained glass. Glass looks best when it is sunny outside and we had sun in abundance! I need to find a camera setting that works with cathedrals. Stained glass is one of the more difficult things to photograph well.
