Hey Guys, I just wanted to send everyone and email and catch you up a little on Fabi & I adventure. So far everything is going really well and as of now we are currently in Milan Italy. The weather is perfect and it is really amazing here. We are really enjoying this trip a lot. Here is a breif summary of what we have been doing: 25th - We woke up early and thanks to mom and dad got to the airport on time and early.... Great feeling being early and not late.

Music: Brinsley Schwarz - Feel a Little Funky 3 I came back to Dublin yesterday - I thought I'd go to somewhere like Maynooth for the day, but I didn't, and I'm so glad I didn't: Dublin was full of life, and I, rather surprisingly, felt at home once I got here again.

Yesterday in our tours around Dublin (I think mom and I can give some of the tour now!!), we can upon a Canadian oasis overseas.... that's right a Tim Hortons! We couldn't believe it! So like true Canadians we ran inside (it is just a little counter set up in the corner store) and took our pictures with it. The staff said that they get a lot of Canadians taking pictures. LOL We decided we had better have a coffee...even if the cup was filled with the not so good Ireland coffee, at least we could pretend it was Tim Hortons LOL.... to our surprise it tastes just like Canadian Tim Hortons!!!!!! I've decided that Canada is taking over the world, one Tim Hortons at a time---we just start with the cool places first! (Yep we ... read more
