Floral displays don't normally catch my attention but since it was the only thing that I could take a picture of without looking like a tourist, I did. Our work visitors this time around had to stay with the rich and famous so I had the opportunity to see the hotel lobby at least. Nice but not overwhelming. We were here six times this week for the pick-up and drop offs and the payoff came this afternoon when we were face-to-face with Paris Hilton and her boyfriend (and her dog) as they waited for their car. Then we followed them (and the police escort) out of the hotel driveway. I didn't take a picture but she was all in pink for a photo op and her boyfriend was in his standard fedora and casual slob garb. The dog was cute and fluffy. The cop was unamused.

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.
