| First run in Berlin. I always run so slow when in a new place, but love exploring on foot. The image is from a memorial for the Roma and Sinti people perished under the Nazi rule. |

Vantaa, Finland (FI) |
|
| Stroll through the old neighborhood in the suburbs of Helsinki. Not sure I have seen this in other countries, but in Finland almost every town and suburb has a public rug cleaning station. Clean rugs are left to dry in the racks. Shoes are taken off inside, which was true in Iceland, too. That has always been the house rule in my home. |

| 9 PM sunshine for my track workout in Finland where I grew up. Had the place to myself to enjoy the sun and warm temperatures. After Iceland, where I was longing for my running gloves, the historic heat wave feels good. |
