Hey, this keyboard is different...!!

I'm going to do another quick post but I'll add some good stuff sometime soon. I'm in an Internet cafe in Dublin. I meet up with my parents, bro, and his girlfriend Emily, in Cork on Saturday afternoon. Sadly I had to say goodbye to every wonderful person from my bike trip and was forced to be torn away from my fantastic trip leaders, Nigel and Pardaic. I miss them all!

I ran in the 15 miler road race from Cork to Cobh and it was...well, painful. I was sore from the biking a little and tired from trekking all around Cork on Saturday but it was so worth it. I was fun to run in my first international race. I'll give more details on that later in another post.

Dog count...? I think I'm up to about 25 or so dogs :). I'm going to do a count later. Unfortunately, i didn't get to snap a shot of Elle, the dog in the B&B we stayed at over the weekend but I'll sketch something up resembling her likeness and post that.

I love it here. I'm still in love with Galway and want to be back there so bad! The plan of the moment (or hour) is to come back over here next summer and do another bike tour in either Ireland, England, or Scotland and then take Gaelic classes in Galway for a few weeks. Nigel does a tour of England that lasts 23 days! That would be insane and brilliant. I'm going to start working with Yellow Bike when I get home so I can work on my cool mechanic skills- nothing cooler than a girl who can rebuild a bike, right? Then...who know! (note: this is not a warning to my great bosses of the microscope).

Until next post- Slan!
