]]> I visited Ireland for about 48 hours. I didn’t get to do much because work was very busy. It was a very good business trip.
The only thing I did get to do was visit Dublin for a couple hours. John McIntyre, my colleague, and I had a “pint” in McDoid’s Pub. John said “This is an authentic Irish pub. Not what you people in America think is an Irish pub.” Nice!

]]> 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.
