holler from ireland

quick hello from ireland

 

people speak english here, and wear A LOT of jean-on-jean...we counted 116 instances in the first 24 hours.

 

walking tour, pub crawl, irish jewish museum, jameson distillery tour (i think that means 4 winerys, 3 brewerys and 1 distillery so far in 2006...), and enjoying the COLD.  i forgot how much i love wearing long pants. thank you ireland for not being as oppressively hot as the rest of this continent.  the jewish museum was great, it was tiny and not often visited, but was basically a graveyard for any jewish related relic you could possibly dig up.  the "artifacts" ranged from old torah covers and parchments to pictures of old ladies in a seniors home and some guy's triple a card... basically if you send it to them, and it has anything to do with anything or anyone jewish, or even jew- ish its good enough to be on display.  (we also were big geeks and got excited about seeing stuff from the 1970's from BBYO dublin... and habonim ireland)

 

hope things are good wherever you are, we're doin it up in dublin, and heading to london tomorrow morning, our last stop on this euro-adventure.  we'll be staying with our friend emily feldman (my roommate from last summer for those of you in dc) which is aweosme because not only are we lookign forward to seeing her and exploring the city, but its also free...or close to free, which is much needed at this juncture, as my bank statements are...laughable.  the plan was to bankrupt myself before startign 5 months abroad. got the bankrupt part down, now i gotta figure out the whole 5 months abroad part....

 

in short, no more money, still not sure where ill be going come saturday, having fun, appreciate all your concerns and wishes. 

 

oh, and no leprachauns, as yet, but lots of lucky charms jokes.
