Finishing up Summer Tour 08- Europe

Well the trip is coming to an end. Today is our last day as tomorrow we get on the plane to fly back to the good ol' USA. We have kept very busy in Ireland going here and there. On Thursday we went to downtown Dublin and it was pouring rain..... NOT FUN; however Ann finds joy in dragging me out in the rain so we were actually down there all day. We went there again on Monday and it was not raining and it was much better... I enjoyed it a lot more. We went to trinity college and they asked me to come there and gave me a really good scholarship opportunity soooooooooooooooo...... of course I could not pass it up and am planning on doing my grad work over in Ireland. Can you believe that? Well you shouldn't because I made it all up!!!!!! haha. Anyways we did that tour and then walked around in the nice weather. Back to Friday, Roy Griffin from here took Ann, Me, Maria, and Edita to some castles in the countryside. We ended up at Bunratty castle and there we had a big ol meal in the castle. Marino met us there too. On saturday we did more touring and then Saturday night we went to Marino's for the night. On sunday we went to meeting with Marino and then went to Lilianna's (another peruvian who married Ian, from Ireland and they have three little kids). We were there pretty much all day. Tuesday we went to jail. We got in trouble for jaywalking and got thrown into jail. Ok not really but there is an old jail here that has a lot of history, it jailed a lot of the men involved in the Easter Rising. We then had dinner at Marinos and went to somewhere out in the country that is quite differnt from the other areas...... was more barren. We were running low on petro and I was so scared we were going to get stuck out in the middle of nowhere BUT we did make it to a petro station before we had to push. Today we are packing up and Norman Nash, one of the workers here is spending the day with us.

I have seen a lot in three weeks and am so thankful to Ann for taking me with her!!!!!! There were times she probably wished she had left me in the states but I am gald she didn't. We have had a lot of fun and have lots of good memories so Thanks Ann for everything and I have no idea where you get your energy to run around all day long :)!!!!!!!!
