After an awesome (but very quick) visit to Scotland we've met up with the Dairs and are traveling around Ireland. So far, we've managed to: - drink Guiness in Dublin - climb the Cliffs of Moher - look at clouds and rain in the Ring of Kerry - kiss the Blarney Stone - eat our weight in Irish Breakfast We're having a great time - hard to believe there are only three days until we'll be home! We are heading towards Waterford today then back to Dublin for tomorrow evening. [View Full Entry]

Wowzers, it has been awhile since I've updated ya'll on my adventures! I found my checkcard once I made it to Cologne where I had the time of my life. My host David was highly busy with making artists famous (he owns his own record producing company), but still found time to show me around the town. I had some troubles adjusting to their public transportation, but it all worked out in the end. I met up with some Canadians i met in Berlin and tried some jellied pigs head at one of the 5 breweries we hit up my last [View Full Entry]

Hello again, we are just getting ready to leave our hostel in Cork. Chelsea and I have been talking about how much fun it would be to open a Bed and Breakfast someday in Seattle. We really enjoy the B&B experience, and think it would be fun from the other side too. Besides, I like to cook breakfast and Chelsea is a compulsive cleaner! We were thinking of combining the B&B idea with another of our ideas...to retire (in 30-40 years) to a little houseboat on [url=http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=lake+union,&near=Seattle,+WA,+ [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, So I've been a bit bad with posting, but I have a good excuse, which is that I've been too busy having an awesome time! I think my last post was from Glasgow, so to bring you all up to date, I've since been to Edinburgh, Belfast, and Rathdrum, and now we're in Cork. Everything's been really great so far. There are five of us - Laura, Heather, Nina, Sophie, and myself - and this is the third leg of our Tour de Ireland. We took a bus on Sunday from Belfast to Dublin, then connected with a bus [View Full Entry]

Wow, what a trip we have been on the last few days! We managed to hitch rides out of Limerick (we caught a bus to Limerick from Dublin) on the 12th I think. We made it to the town of Dingle, which is super cute. But one of the fellows who drove us part of the way was a tour guide in the Dingle penisula. He told us we should go to the Blasket Islands off the town of Dunquin. So the next day we hitched there because the busses wern't running. We caught a water taxi accross with the intention [View Full Entry]

We are now living in Cork city. We found a really nice apartment that overlooks the city and the river valley. Most of our time has been spent looking for jobs and trying to get our place set up. Unfortunately there is a recession going on and there aren't many jobs but we are hoping we can tough it out. Our place is in an area called Sunday's Well. There is an old prison down the road from us as well as a huge church. We also have a pub right across the road from us, we will go there to [View Full Entry]

It seems the wind in Connemara & the Cliffs of Moher was too much, as I now have a major case of nose-leak and hurt-throat. I've been barely audible for a couple of days (you should (not) try out ordering food without any voice, it's kinda interesting), but I know my throat is getting better - now it only hurts when I cough or get out of breath. XD Yesterday I coughed up this incredible, sticky yellow slime that would not break. It was really some kind of alien-slime, I believe, that somehow landed in my throat from outer space.

Hello ALL!!! Well tonight is my last night in Cork. Yesterday we traveled to St. Charles Fort in Kinsale. It was pretty interesting to see how they had built the fort to protect the town. We had too much time in the town, which didn't really have a lot to do. A couple of us, found a park and took a nap. I even got a little color, it was nice to just relax and get some sun. Cork has been fun, but the city isn't a little dirty. There is a nice shopping area, it is about a 20 minute [View Full Entry]

Hello All!! Just thought I would send a little Hello to you all. Everything is going great, I am having such a wonderful time here in Ireland. We just arrived in Cork, we will be here for the next three days. Last Friday we went to the Inishmore islands. It was about a hour bus ride to the ferry which was then about 45 minutes. It was a pretty long journey just to arrive on the Island. Once we got to the Island the 6 girls that I have been hanging out with and I went to eat. We ate at [View Full Entry]
