TechEd Joggers

I got up this morning and had an early jog along the Brisbane River.  There are city parks that go all along the river, with separate adjacent paths for pedestrians and cyclists.  There were a lot of people out jogging around at 6am, including a “Fitness Boot Camp”.  I sure am glad that guy wasn't yelling at me to do some pushups :) Picture from city website:

I also went by the "Kangaroo Point Cliffs", which are setup for rockclimbing:

Hi Marcie, you are sure right about Brisbane being a beautiful city.

I worked in Brisbane for a couple of years in the tall white building to the right of the tallest blue-ish building in that picture. (The blue-ish building is where the Microsoft offices are.)

{Still looking at that picture } I used to catch the morning bus to SouthBank and take the bridge across the river to where you can see those trees there. There's a great walking path through there that leads you through a mangrove swamp-like area. From there you can walk up through the Botanical gardens, past Microsoft and into work.

It was a great way to start the day off; it was novel seeing all of the wealthy stockbrokers arriving to work on their boats :-)

We spent our honeymoon in Australia(Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.) It is definitely a country which you can fall in love with. We would go more often if it was not so far away.

Really lovely to have heard you and met you. A real URL personality without a web cam! wow!

You have inspired me to look long and hard at datagrids if I can get past Infopath!

Glad you had a nice time. Come again.

David.

Nice pictures! =) If everything goes well, I'll be going to Sydney next year for a debating tournament, and will drop by Brisbane and Perth on the way there.

(I'm just curious why this post isn't in pink though like the others! <g>)

6AM and jogging. 2 things that most definitely don't belong together :)

Just a note to Damit, Perth isn't exactly on the way to Sydney or Brisbane. Melbourne is a lot closer, and is an incredible city.
