Running in London on Saturday, 2 August 2008

Well, as long as the weather cooperates, I'm going to get out and do a "run of the parks" this Saturday. I'm here in London through the weekend, and would love to get any recommendations for a running route from someone "local." Please leave a comment below, or contact me directly.

Here's a map of my last "London Parks Run."

The landscape of Colorado is amazing. I stopped about 13 miles outside of Telluride, CO for a few minutes. As I was about to start riding again, I looked to my right, and here's the view I saw. (Click on the picture for a larger view...)

Hiltl - A great restaurant in Zurich

So, I won't even pre-tend I can understand this language (click on the link below); however, after eating dinner at Hiltl and talking to some customers as well as the people who worked there, this restaurant has some serious history to go along with an eating adventure! (Just take a look at these pictures! Click here...)

Hiltl Restaurant...

Above, a picture of just one of the 6 rows of offerings last week...when I return to Zurich (this year?!), I'm definitely making Hiltl one of my stops!

I went there on a recommendation (thanks John!) and enjoyed it so much I returned the next night to meet another client after work. The book (in many different languages) offers the most amazing recipes (and some GREAT pictures!).

If you travel, even a little bit, I think you'll laugh

Thanks to "The Flying Critic" for sharing this post on avoiding airline baggage-check fees recently. I laughed for about 60 seconds straight!

After-Work get together on Monday, in London, England

Meet at 6:30pm, in the lobby/bar area of the Marriott at India Quay on Monday, 2 June for an after-work social. Let's start the week on a high note by meeting up to share some stories as we all get ready for summer! (Depending on the weather, I will be leading a 5-mile run starting at 5pm. E-mail me if you are interested in joining!)

Visiting Austin, TX...any advice?

Well, I thought I'd call on this community (there are quite a few people reading this blog daily...thank you! Please spread the word...) and ask:

Any ideas of things to do/places to go/people to meet in Austin, Texas? I'm here from Wednesday through Sunday night...

(It's our "family reunion" time...38 of us meeting at Barton Creek!)

Thanks in advance!

American Airlines...let's use those miles!

Do you Travel a LOT?

If you have any extra American Airlines miles, and want to know what else you can use them for, click on my friend Robert's blog post...it might be worth the few minutes it takes to read!

Here's my balance...I'm going to go see what I can do!

Off to Costa Rica...back to blogging soon!

NaturegazingI'm heading out of the country...again...to Costa Rica!

I am SO looking forward to learning more about this place (a place that is quickly becoming a second home to me).

Living in Mexico twice, and Argentina once, in the 90's gave me the ability to speak Spanish fluently. Visiting now, with time to learn about the countries of Central and South America while getting to know new friends there, is absolutely incredible.
