Off to Ireland
So I think I'm going to start blogging again this semester.
I hiked the Wicklow Way solo last November and I enjoyed it so much that the only thing I could think about afterwards was when I would return. So in 3 days I'm off to spend the weekend in London with my friend Brigid who is graciously hosting me. Then on Monday morning I'm meeting up with my friend Emily and taking a quick flight to Ireland. We're gonna spend the day just getting everything in order and seeing Dublin. Tuesday morning we start out on our 8 day biking trip across Ireland. Well its sorta a loop around the middle of the country, starting and ending in Dublin. On Saturday the 18th we're going to stay with some Irish relatives of mine in Mullingar. I'm really excited about that because I want to get to know more about my Irish heritage...and its a free dinner and bed :). But of course Friday the 17th can't be left out, because that is the night Emily and I are celebrating Saint Patricks day in Longford (well in whatever random pub there is in Longford)....mmmm I can taste the Guiness already.
Well, obviously there isn't much more I can write till we actually get there. Right now I am just bogged down with lot's of last minute things, but considering I starting packing a few weeks ago, I think I'll be ready by Friday.
Tonight is a reunion party with all of the students that I studied with in Madrid. Our program leader, MariCarmen, is in town so I cannot wait to see her again. K, I'm gonna go nap now. Adios

Well, sweetie, you're probably in Ireland by now. I hope the trip is going well. Do they have internet cafes you can stop in to check your email and blog? They probably do since I've heard that Ireland's economy is one of the fastest growing in the EU and one of the strongest sectors is computer chip manufacturing. So the Irish have most likely become very tech savy. Have a great time.
Lots and lots of love,
Uncle Michael
