The end of the year is approaching and I find myself with the need to burn vacation days. It's a use it or lose it type policy at work and rather than give up my time, I'm staying put and doing vacation at home. So far, I've managed to print out photos that have been sitting for a few months, made 3 trips to Wal-Mart in an attempt to find and rescue my photos that were lost (twice) and finally succeeded today. I even have food in the house and of course, the TV is here at last. While laundry, cleaning the floor and pulling weeds have all been taken care of, I'm still procrastinating on buying the bookcases that my office needs. I unpacked a few more boxes and that ended up creating a bigger mess than if I had left everything alone. The fact is, I'm okay with dis-organization. When it's too much for me to take, then the bookcases will appear. It would be nice if I hit that point this week though. I've done nothing and everything and I can already feel the week slipping away. It's nice to have time off work even if it's the fastest week of the year.

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.
