Hey all,

Eugene and I are now in a Cyber Cafe in Dublin, getting our internet fix after a horrible withdrawal period (you know, two weeks without email is almost deadly :) ). So far, we've had a really good time and have enjoyed really good weather so far. We were able to spend over a week in England and Scotland in May without rain!!! The history has been incredible... there are no churches in America to compare with the York Minster; the largest Gothic Cathedral in Britain, built on an older Norman cathedral built over the Roman headquarters where Constantine the Great was coronated! (just one example)

The trip has been fun, but this has been the easy part. Soon the locals won't speak English, the cities won't be over-Americanized, and the trains won't be so safe... We'll have to see what happens..

Well, I hope to be able to get internet access every once in a while, and if it's not too Narcissistic, I'll send occasional updates.

Cheers!
