Detroit, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin (not a bad list for the day)

I made it to Dublin.

Flew through the night(kind of- it never actually got dark, which is a pretty bizarre feeling...) and finally arrived in Dublin, where I took a bus downtown and met a new friend from Poland, found a payphone to call the first person I'm staying with here(Nick, who I'll be hanging with for the next couple days. It was a great moment meeting him as neither of us had any way of identifying the other- we just walked down the street opposite ways figuring that we'd maybe recognize the other somehow. And it worked.), bought a sim card for my phone, wandered around for a bit, found an internet cafe so I could let y'all know I made it (ok mostly just the parentals), etc...

So, here we go. Off to explore Dublin a bit.

  3. checked out the sites for the places you're visiting--pure sweetness, especially corrymeely... reconciliation. Deep, hard work that is to be the work of Followers. This is exciting; can't wait to write songs with you about your experiences. (or sit in sort of silence while you just think back on it all.) Love you brother, -abbyewestpates

  6. Dave (I'm guessing that was you that didn't leave your name. You would...), good work with the Jeopardy- quite the feat, it seems, to beat Christel at that. She killed us the other day.
