There are so many variables in airport security that really show there's no security at all. This morning, my brain wasn't functioning. No Starbucks at the hotel and none inside the Tom Bradley terminal. I had some hotel swill and a few sips of airport swill. When I went through security, the line was so short I had no time to think. Off came the shoes, out came the computer. I send the suitcase and backpack sliding through the x-ray and then went through myself. Only when I was on the other side and saw some man being hassled over his bottle of hot sauce did I realize that I had forgotten to pull out my 1 qt. bag of liquids. The bag was still in my backpack which was sitting in front of me, no questions asked. I looked to my right, the man was still trying to save his hot sauce. I looked to my left and the screeners were chatting away. I looked behind me, everyone was bored. I packed up my items and walked away. The man was still trying to save his hot sauce as I left.

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.
