Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre village of Vernazza ... Italy's Fiat-free riviera. Our home base was in the village of Monterosso, seen along the coast in the distance.

Goblins in Dublin


Two years ago today I was in Galway, Ireland with fellow running buddies Bill, Salome and John celebrating our successful Dublin Marathon run the weekend before and Halloween. We were in Ireland to run the marathon and tour Ireland with Marathon Tours. My God, the Irish sure know how to celebrate the ghoulish event...we, and our newly made running buddies, sure had to work hard to keep pace. We probably spent more energy doing that than running the damn marathon! However, the free-flowing Guinness and occasional shot helped replenish lost calories. The trip to Ireland ranks in my top three marathon-touring experiences...one worthy of repeating. Check out the photos I posted as a slide show...having a Guinness while you watch it will enhance the experience! Cheers!
