Sunday afternoons are wonderful events when the sun is shining, football is on TV, and all homework assignments are done! It occured to me that the last time that I had a Guinness was in Russia and the last time that I had dark beer at Karl Strauss was months ago! (The last Firkin had no stout.) So Ms. Kitty and I headed off for a day of eating, drinking, and TV. First stop - Karl Strauss downtown where there should have been a huge crowd of people in the bar to watch the Charger's game. We arrived and the place was pretty empty which was surprising but it made for great service. We enjoyed the food and beer, made fun of everyone (and ourselves) and then returned to Ocean Beach for Guinness at OB's. (The restaurant, not related to OB) After a couple of pints of great and tasty Guinness we walked to Ms. Kitty's house for coffee and TV to finish off the day. All in all, a great Sunday. Plus the Charger's won and have the AFC West title!

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,
