24 Hours in Paris

Not counting the 4+ hour train rides to/from Amsterdam, which should only be 3 hours, but there is track construction slowing things down.

It was all work so the sight seeing was between the train and the office.

A Week in NYC

August 17, 2024 Leave a comment

We had a fun weekend of walking around Manhattan, taking a ferry over to Brooklyn, visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and being in awe of the new skinny skyscrapers that are being built in the city. Grand Central Station is still impressive, but busy. Plus, it was fun to see the Ghostbusters building and get a partial view of Times Square from the Salesforce office.
