Thoughts

Going to Europe has been a dream of mine since childhood.  A far fetched one more often than not as the price it costs to go to Europe is high and the time needed is lengthy, but somehow, some way, Adam was able to book a four day trip to Dublin, Ireland at least to give me a taste of Europe, a touch of the ancient and there is nothing like that feeling in the world.

Of course Dublin is like any other city...there are tons of people there on vacation, running around th touristy areas in hopes of having a pint of Guinness like a real Irishman.  Of course, we did the touristy things and went shopping at the kitchy shops with tea glasses and beer mugs with IRELAND tattooed on them...and actually, that was fun too.

But...

When we flew in and I saw the seaside, and we coasted over a partly clouded sky....with the little blotches of green separated only by darker lines of green, I was elated.  And, when I stepped foot on the bricked streets of Trinity College, or the 1200 year old slabs of stone which  make of the floor at St. Audoen's church, the age, the sense of time just swept over me and it was truly amazing.

Nothing like it in the world, I cannot thank Adam more for the gift he has given me.
