-GREAT IRON WORK
I only have 5 min. and a crappy keyboard here at the hostel, but I am in London tonight, first night in a hostel, then off to Frankurt Germany tomorrow.
Ireland was great staying with Kingsley's parents. I even got a load of laundry done. London is a big ol' town that can be as inpersonal as any other if you let it. There are a lot of Assies working here. They even have a few of their own papers. They call the brits POMs for Prisoner of her Magisty. I thought that was funny.

I haven't been much for the night life. I have just felt like going to bed. It has been a bit tough for me reaching out and meeting people. Same as in the states, I have become TOO good at fending for myself and not having to bother others, so I have been pretty solo this trip. That is why it was great to go to church when I was in Dublin. I had Heather and John introducing me to people and it was a natural social environment.
There is so much more to tell, but I just don't have time at these pay terminals.

Believe it or not, this road is for two way trafic. Now you see why I had such a hard time to adjusting to driving here :)

Laundry???
Garret, how can you call 1 set of clothes a "load" of laundry?? Glad to hear you had an opportunity to meet some folks in Ireland. Continue to keep us posted on your travels whenever you have time. Cheers!
