London cont.

Today was an amazing day. May I say it again...TODAY WAS AN AMAZING DAY!!! Brent, Janna, Kevin and I (Krissy) woke up and exchanged some cash and went and got some coffee and crossaints which were so cheap and so amazing! We then took the tube to the British Museum and walked around in awe for hours. We sat on th e steps and (shout out to Brent Baber) ate our delicious food until we ventured back in to see sights like the Cleopatra and Venus. It was pure love in that museum. after we gave our feet a rest and sat and ate some icecream and snacks in the park and then headed to trafalger sqaure and oxford street where we accidently stumbled across the cutest and best clothes in the world and had to give a few pounds to the cause. after we met janna at the pub by her house, also where she works, and had some drinks with her friends and talked about God and Predestination and Free Will and Prop 8 for hours . it was interesting how willing people here are to talk about religion and politics. it is refreshing and is such a good change from america. we are off to bed now and heading to notting hill and abbey road tomorrow. good night from us all. peace and love, euro team

Day 5

Hello!!! This is Kevin and Krissy :D what it do! we just got back to Dublin for the night before we head off to London and had the most incredible dinner ever! Meggie, Kevin and Krissy (me) ate at this place that had incredible food! We even treated ourselves to dessert :D ...because we are in Europe and we can :D ....Leaving the time share was sad but we are super excited to go see Janna and meet up with brent. Alex, Ryan, Bryant and Kyle are still at the time share hanging out and exploring the green hills. We are in an internet cafe that is filled with world of warcraft posters and people...it is 12:22 at night and the combination of this place, the people, and the time is all just sketchy. more to come. good night.

Day 3 - the middle of green

We arrived at our time share yesterday and it is the quinticential Irish no man's land. There is nothing but small little homes tucked into the grassy green hills around us. I am pretty sure there are more cows than people here and more sheep than both of the other two combined. Our time share is beautiful and we have fully accepted responsibility for making sure we sleep and relax as much as possible here :D Our first day in Dublin sort of sucked all the energy out of us. We have made good friends with a puppy that we have named gomer and are going to go on a hike and picnic in the hills today. Tonight we plan on making tons of pasta, drinking some wine and playing games. It doesn't get completely dark here until mid night so it will probably be a late one tonight :D meggie, Kevin and me (krissy) are off to london tomorrow and the rest will meet us there on the 26th. Off to the hills for now though :D

day 2

Dublin has officially proved itself to be an incredible city! We walked around all day yesterday and explored this amazing cathedral and wandered in and out of pubs. This place is beautiful. It is such a crazy mixture of historical landmarks and modern expansion. This morning we are up early to eat some free hostel toast and to head to our time share !!!
