Yay Venice!! It's just how I remember it! Glad you managed not to "lose" anything on this trip haha and you're right, I am doubly proud that you not only remembered some Italian but even used it! Yay
I agree, Prague has to be one of the most beautiful cities on the planet! I loved every minute of it, which, I guess, is why I spent an entire week there! I would have loved to be there for the Festival, I agree that everyone in costume in such a gothic city would be quite surreal! Glad you guys are having so much fun!
Das Boot! Did you learn nothing from Beer Fest (the movie, not what we went to in Galway) haha; you must give the boot a quarter turn at the end to avoid the splash... DAS BOOT! Also, I am glad to hear that you have come over to the Christmas loving side. It looks like Germany has accomplished what I never could... Germany 1, Cher, well I still have a million points because it's my game ;-)
So Awesome! Wow, that's unbelievable! You completely nailed it for everyone! Thank you for my unlimited paid vacation! I love it! See you in 12 hours! =)
Best Pants story ever... I feel like this is really similar to the pants story in Seinfeld that Kramer sells to J. Peterman... (Though it may just be because that's the only other train story I know of... [My own side note]) I just feel that the story is great not because of anything massively life changing occurs, but because it's just a good story. It should end with "And then I got my pants dirty... The very pants I had just gotten back from the cleaners." Beautiful.
oh yeah... It's all coming back to me. That was a great time (except for the passport incident). I'm so glad you are there again and sharing your experiences. It's a pretty magical place. If you were going to be there longer I should come visit you.
I hope your travels continue to go well. Have a blast!

I totally would've made it You don't know me... I totally would've made it to the top of the scary glass elevator shooting multiple stories up in the air... no, you're right, I wouldn't ;-)
Mechanical bulls in foreign countries What is it about other countries and mechanical bulls? My one and only bull ride to date was in a different country, too. Glad to read that you guys are having the best of times!
seagull? Haha, I love that seagulls are incorporated into the oyster festivities... is that just because where there's seafood, there's seagulls? ha =)
Yeah Tales from the Dark! I'm with you on the snakes thing. My old cat brought snakes into the house a few times and it was not fun nor was I exactly keen on removing them from the house, so I totally get where you're coming from on that one. Uh yeah, the leaky walls would have grossed me out a bit. That's like straight out of a Tales from the Dark episode. :)
Adventure Ho! OMG, That is so crazy, and gross... eeewwww! I know I know, I shouldn't have read that, and you gave me fair warning, but my curiosity got the best of me and I just couldn't stop myself. Can I add a fear of mice in my oven to my list of fears along with spiders!?! Because I think that's a very necessary fear to have. Glad to see that Brian manned up, and "took care of it" (kinda) ;-) Also Brian, I swear, if you try to smash a spider on me, I will kill you... in a loving kind of way of course =)
Hot Damn! You get those spiders! If you need extra help, I can bring my well trained Chloe pirate spider hunter with me to get the rest! Oh, and driving on the beach... SO AWESOME! Love ya
T, you know I love ya... ...but right now I REALLY hate you! How could you enjoying beautiful Ireland while I'm stuck here in Santa Barbara??? No fair I tell ya! Glad to see you guys having a blast...have some real Guinness for me and good luck finding a flat! Oh, and give Brian a Roaring Donkey kiss for me!
