Well apparently I didn't explain enough!! I did not in fact go to Guiness Brewery. Correction, I went, but it had just closed. The guy I was walking with and I got lost, but I think I'll have enough time to see it before I go to the airport tomorrow. By "going out" and stuff, I meant that I was walking and some people invited me to go with them to whereever it is that they were going. And as for the British guy that I met on the Cornwall tour...here is why he's creepy. He told some other guy on our tour that he goes on these tours to sleep with women because they're easier...when the other guy asked him how he got so many girls, he said you slip them a rufie (I dunno ... read more

we are having a blast on our trip so far! the four of us just got into london, england this morning, but we were very sad to leave dublin. the drama of dublin came with rachel's luggage. continental airlines misplaced her luggage, and anne (the mother of the family that we stayed with) spent literally hours on the phone trying to find her backpack. other than that, we've had a wonderful time. our first two days there were sunny! we were very pleased. the first night, we celebrated stephie j's birthday at a pub with sinead, the murphys' 23-year-old daughter. we tried real irish beer that wasn't guinness, and afterwards we walked up the street to grab a bite to eat. anne served as our taxi driver that night and for the rest of our time ... read more

Rachel: I have stuff to show.... I even put it on my flash drive if we ran into an Internet Cafe.... Some of these are kinda scary... but you have to go to the cheap one.... 1 euro for a hour.... This computer is too old and can't put it on.... So... we are on our way to do a Haunted Bus Ride in Dublin. Should be good.... FYI.... Still haven't figured out how to call out on an 800 line (phone cards)... we could call if we give credit card or call collect.... no point... we can always try to find a computer.... More later...........Mark, See certain comment below, and boy are you expensive Rob: Ello, hanging out in Dublin right now. Been a blast so far today. Good weather, good food, good beer, good ... read more

5/30/07 Arrived in Dublin early this morning, after an uneventful 8 hour flight. Took the city bus from the airport to my hostel-slightly freaked out, trying to figure out where my stop was without a map or help. But God helped me. Dropped off luggage at hostel—Avalon House, just south of Temple Bar. Took a “Hop On, Hop Off” bus tour. Went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral-the largest in Ireland. St. Patrick himself (in the 4th or 5th century, I think) used to baptize people there. Next on to Guinness Storehouse. I was pretty disappointed in this crappy tour, because it was just a converted warehouse, with some fancy designs, and computer screens over 7 floors, showing you how Guinness is made. If I wanted that, I could be sitting at home watching the Discovery Channel ... read more
