Back from Kitzbuhel

We're back from Kitzbuhel. It was odd not having internet (or English TV for that matter). Look for a report tomorrow. However, I will vent on one subject before I make note of our trip.

Today, before we left, we decided to drive into town so Paddy could do a bit of shopping (as nothing is open on Sundays). As I drove down a street, a cop pulled me to the side. He said I was driving in a one-way and that signs were posted, three actually, up the street. He asked if I saw them. "No," I replied. So, I was given a ticket and forced to pay 35 Euros on the spot. I'm sure he's now enjoying a few beers on my Euros. "What a scam," I thought.

Because, as we returned to where the signs were posted, they are indeed there. However, there was a truck blocking both signs I would have seen from where I turned. I wanted to go back, find the cop, and drag him to the scene of the "crime" to show him exactly what he referenced. That way, I could then make HIM feel like a fool. I'm sure that wouldn't have gone over well. They don't take kindly to strangers. Besides that, after three days of over 100K people in town for the World Cup, I'm sure he didn't have much patience left.

If only I could write a letter...
