Ireland

hi friends...

i just got home from Ireland. i went there straight after graduation (well on Monday at like 2pm) for a family vacay. we went mostly to western and southwestern Ireland and it was amazing. i definitely connected with my Irish roots! they are just as superstitious as i am and love their pint at each meal just as much as i do. or i guess vice versa. i like those things just as much as they do.

anywho, we spent about a week traveling around and i'll post pictures soon. the weather was perfect, and i even came back with a sunburn (i took an 8 mile hike one afternoon and since we didn't expect warm sunny weather we didn't pack sunscreen so i scorched myself on the hike). it was a pretty fantastic trip, although i would've liked to have some non-family members with me so i could've done some good ol' Irish partying (Ivan wasn't with us on the trip so i didn't have him as a drinking companion). i have already decided that i have to go back there soon.

now i'm in NYC for the next week until i go back to KY to work for a summer program and continue to improve my tan through July. not sure what i'll be doing for august, but at some point i've got to move myself to NYC...

well there's a little update for now. i'll tell of more when more happens.
