Being a weekday, there were only a few, but some of them were pretty good. Then I walked to St. Stephens Green at the end of the street and sat on a park bench for a bit, soaking up the pleasant, sunny afternoon. (The temperature was in the mid-sixties, so it was quite perfect!)<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3497\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_010-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"St Stephens Green\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_010-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_010-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3498\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_007-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"St Stephens Green\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_007-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_007-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it was about time for Greg to return to the Arlington Hotel via taxi, I headed back north on Grafton Street up to O&#8217;Connell, where I waited for him by the statue and just enjoyed watching people rushing by.

I appreciate the &#8220;Look Right&#8221; and &#8220;Look Left&#8221; painted on many of the streets. Since Ireland traffic is on the opposite side of the street than I am used to, it means looking in the opposite direction than you normally do. Also, there is a lot more honking of car horns here than I normally hear in Colorado. It is definitely a busy place with lots of buses, trains, taxis, bikes, and pedestrians. But the city is also very walkable, so I&#8217;ve been walking everywhere instead of taking the bus like I initially thought I might. On this particular day, I walked just over 8 miles! Not as much as my 10.76 miles the previous day, but still quite a lot!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3500\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_019-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Look Right\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_019-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_019-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A late dinner at Sano Pizza, just around the corner from our apartment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3501\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_020-e1568905201353-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sano Pizza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_020-e1568905201353-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09172019_020-e1568905201353-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Walking around Temple Bar<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3546 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_1141-e1568930440798-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Temple Bar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_1141-e1568930440798-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_1141-e1568930440798-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3088\" height=\"2320\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3547\" src=\"http:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_115-e1568930463123.jpg\" alt=\"Temple Bar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_115-e1568930463123.jpg 3088w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_115-e1568930463123-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/noreimerreason.com\/amberandgreg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/09162019_115-e1568930463123-1024x769.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3088px) 100vw, 3088px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was so tired after walking over Dublin and Glendalough on Monday that, after walking Greg to the Arlington to meet his coworkers on Tuesday, I headed back to our apartment and took a long nap.
