hey all. i was able to post more pics today. yay! as a reminder, go to snapfish.com, and login as me. my login is: jjackson@seekrefuge.net and my password is: jodi1. i just chose 76.... :) and considering the fact that i couldn't even remember what all the buildings were i figured i wouldn't put too many of them in..... but i know for sure that i added pics of greece...... but i don't have many b/c i was super lazy with my camera. so sarah has all the good pics on HER camera. sarah - have you added pics yet to your snapfish account? once you do can you post a comment on my blog with your login and password so peeps can check out augustino?!?!?! thanks playa ;) ok, so after greece is the concentration camp, our walk thru berlin including the berlin wall as well as the off white building - which is where michael jackson held his baby out the window a couple years back. holla!! :) then back in paris where sarah tried yet again to capture my heel click unsuccessfully :( but it was fun nonetheless... our shout out out to magnum bars before sarah left, and then our sad parting at the airport :( after that is the super cute B&B i stayed at and lastly is Christ's Church Cathedral in dublin. i had to take a pic of this nasty mummified cat and mouse and i also photographed the explaination of it.... i hope you can read it :) i feel like i just can't get away from the dang things!!!!!!! ;)
so enough of photo recaps. on to what i actually have done in dublin :) yesterday was really nice. i made it to one of the beautiful parks, sat and drank some coffee, and read my book. it was wonderful but got sort of chilly and i was wearing a skirt so i had to head back to the hostel earlier than planned. but i'm going back today and i wore pants so i should be set for hours! i am just gonna walk about and hopefully get some beautiful pictures of all the flowers and gardens. i also went to Christ Church Cathedral which was pretty cool. very old school brick work which i love. and i got there in time to participate in the eucharist and take communion. freaking awesome! so that was quite possibly the highlight of my day just b/c i miss taking communion and it was my first real experience taking it in a catholic church.
and when i first arrived here and was looking over the map i figured i would have to take the tram or bus system everywhere b/c it seemed like a huge city. but instead, i've decided to walk everywhere. it makes me feel a little less fat, a little more active, and saves me some $$ :) i did walk a good few miles to the train station this morning to find out that there are tons of trains that leave to Cork tomorrow, so instead of walking it back (since my feet hurt from wearing flip flops like a moron) i did hitch a ride back on a bus. but other than that i have been footing it all over the city and loving every minute of it. so my plan for the rest of the day is to go to a few little shops here and there, go to both the parks and spend hours looking around, reading, and relaxing. and then tonight i am gonna go to a pub that is playing free, live, traditional irish music. so that should be fun :) and q-money, i will try an irish beer, but i can't promise that i'll finish it..... ;)
then tomorrow i am training it to Cork for a couple of days, then to Killarney for a couple of days to bike and walk through the huge national forrest they have there, and then i am finishing things out up in newry with kelli. whoop whoop! along the way i do plan on kissing the blarney stone, just to say i've done it :) oh yeah, at this time i would like to give a big old shout out to PATTY QUINN!!!! :) i wish you could be here with me b/c one thing i've noticed is that it seems like most irish peeps have the same eyes, and you'd fit right in meggie poo!!!!!!!! :)
ok, thats it for me. i might not blog for a couple of days seeing as i haven't really been doing a whole lot and don't want to bore you all with the dull play by play of my walks around the town ;)
**dinah, you look soooo cute in the pic you posted!! chip and jimmy, you both look stellar as usual :) but dinah's top is too cute to not comment on!!! :)**

Jode, you have a great eye! Some of the pics are just beautiful, great composition, lovely colors. And the quirky ones are terrific! LOVE the street named Lust... For the first time, I cried looking at the pics, though. When you jumped out from behind the granite slab, I wanted to be able to hug and laugh with you. (PS - removed the Gulf Shores Album)
Jodi's Mantra
The only good cat is a dead cat!

Be good to your mummy, you dirty rat!
OMG so jealous you are in Ireland. What a kwinky dink, I've been listening to Gaelic Storm(a great Irish band) like all night. So if the beer is to heavy, which it probably will be, get a pint of cider. I suggest Magners or Strongbow. Love them both.... Take lots of pics, i plan on printing some and framing them...goes with my house. miss you!

oh diney dine, don't cry!! i'll be back soon i swear :) and thanks for saying i have a good eye in pics b/c sarah's pics were much more artsy than mine... and when i popped out from behind the granite slab it was actually kind of inappropriate b/c it was a holocaust memorial site....oops ;)
Yay Jod! Thanks for my shout out in Patty land! I was straight up smiling at the computer when my co-workers walked in so that rocks. Miss you, can't wait to talk to you in person.
