Salzburg 2023

By

My friend who had moved over to Munich Sept 2022 found out early 2023 that she would have to move back to the states. She was leaving the end of June so after we got back from Spain I went down to help her pack and clean and send her off. She always talked about how fun it would be living over here like she could just go to Salzburg for the day! Salzburg was a constant fun place she could go explore, but she never did. 

When I got there we talked through everything that needed to be done and when we would do it and we had some time so I suggested one last adventure - a day trip to Salzburg!


We set up and got there in time to walk and get some lunch at Organic Pizza Salzburg


And gelato

And then wander the town

The gardens at Mirabell Palace

















Walking back to downtown









It was so hot outside and we were overheating so I suggested we stop in one of the churches. I don't think she believed me that they would be nice and cool until we got in there! They are stone and do not retain heat at all. I remember once in winter we went to a concert or something in a church over here and it was so so cold I was an ice cube by the end! It was way colder than outside! But they are so nice on a hot day





It was a whirlwind tour, but a nice adventure!

Stupid Libraries.

By
So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

By
So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma
