Dublin and London
The D&O Diary is on assignment in Europe, with first stops last week and over the weekend in Dublin and London. Neither late January nor early February are ideal times to visit Ireland or England. However, though the weather was chilly and darkness gathered early in the afternoon, it turned out not to be a bad time to visit after all.

The D&O Diary continued its European sojourn with a visit last week to the sun-drenched and, even though it was still just April, summerlike, country of Portugal. I have to say that writing this blog post about our visit to Portugal was as much fun as I have ever had in writing for this site.

The D&O Diary is on assignment in Europe this week, with the first stop in Frankfurt, the German financial capital. The spring weather in Frankfurt was mild and pleasant while I was there, though I was in Frankfurt all too briefly.
The purpose of my visit to Frankfurt was to participate in the DRRT
Back in London
The D&O Diary’s European Sojourn finished up last week with a return visit to London. I returned to London in order to attend an event postponed from the week before. Although the postponement required me to extend my travels for a few more days, it did also mean that I got a bonus day in London, as reflected in the pictures below.
