While out of town, I go running as often as I can; which isn’t much. I find it’s a great way to see parts of the city that you don’t normally see. A few comments:

Old Stockholm – No time for a run but I did take a nice walk around the old city.
Amsterdam – I got in a couple runs. The community I ran through was not the best part of the city.
Dublin – This was short run before my flight home. I basically ran around the apartments of Tyrrelstown.
Noordwijk – It’s always a cold run along the north sea.  It’s flat but the dunes have some rolling hills.
Toulouse – It was a beautiful day for a run along the river.
Malmo – Cold day in early May but nice run through the dog park.
Seattle – I usually map my route before I leave the hotel.  But, it doesn’t show the topography.  Seattle is hilly.
Venice – It’s very flat except the stairs are everywhere.

I’m in Amsterdam… on a weekend… alone… I miss my friend.

The company has me staying out near the office, south of downtown. Today, I went into the city to do laundry. After dropping off my clothes, I went to the Rijksmuseum. It’s super cool. They have some amazing pieces of art.

Walking around the city was nice too. The canals are everywhere with lots of flowers. I even stumbled upon a large market that sells every type of tulip bulb you can imagine.

Amsterdam is nice with lots of History. However, it’s not nearly a clean as Stockholm.

AND it’s no fun without Lynn.
