After eating all that exotic seafood in Tijuana, I was happy to wake up this morning to a calm and peaceful stomach. I rarely ever get sick from eating in other countries but yesterday's lunch was full of new menu items. So abalone chorizo, you have my stamp of approval!
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 didn't eat any strange food and I've been sick all week. Another two days of missed work with ANOTHER sore throat! I saw it coming. I've been healthy for two months so I was due for a cold. Don't worry, it won't stop me from having fun at the SOLD OUT TMBG show on Saturday.
