Ireland: Travel day!

We left Aberdeen this morning, rode the bus forever, then got on a boat for a little while, then rode the bus for more forever and now we're in Dublin. I managed to pass the time pretty well: played two games of Spades, which were both lost in glorious fashion (scores: -410 to 410 on one game and on the other, we never got above 20 points), and watched the latter two Back to the Futures. I was thinking about it (I had time) and I believe that there is still a Delorian time machine hidden in the caves at the end of the third movie that they didn't account for. Perhaps they were leaving it open for a fourth movie... idunno.

So I stayed with a Price family a few days ago. This particular Mr. Price was a Knight Templar, and it was hard to follow exactly what all that means. But he has lots of paintings by a local artist, including one of his house, and lots of fancy medallions and a sword that he was eager to show us. Best I can tell, we're not related.

Dublin is our last stop on the tour. We fly back to the states Thursday. We're flying into Newark where we have a forever-long layover, so a bunch of us are going to New York City (New York City?!) for the afternoon. Then it's back to Beautiful Searcy, Arkansas, Dallas, and Monroe for the summer.

I better get back to the hostel before curfew... more tomorrow.

Coming up: My last Chorus concert ever!
