To Mayrhofen, Austria that is. The S.O. and I are probably long past any point in life where we could even hope to do something reckless exciting like run with the bulls at Pamplona. So this past weekend, we settled for the next best thing. We drove down to Mayrhofen

What he said.
I’m in Austria this weekend, enjoying a land with beautiful mountains, trains that run on time, and has good beer and excellent outdoor activities. There really is not the time to comment on the abomination of a confirmation process that occurred today and during this week. Suffice it to say,

In May of this year, the S.O and I went to Porto Portugal and to Lisbon. It was an awesome trip. Spending some time on the Douro River is a great thing to do. The scenery is great, the food and wine excellent, and its off the beaten path (somewhat)

Happy Saturday! Tomorrow it’s time to make the jump back across the pond back to Germania. Plenty of political news to dissect, especially the current effort to fuck up the Supreme Court for generations. But sometimes you just need to laugh and for that, I very often turn to the
