winnie and i just got to our hostel in paris but not before we got completely turned around; i will definantly say that im becoming great at directions: this was the one hostel that gave us no directions to get here and we were able to navigate ourselves here on our own: the keyboards here are diffrent then the ones in the states: so its hard to type:

dublin was great: i never thought i would ever go to ireland but im happy to say that i did: we stayed at the four courts hostel and the receptionist people were great: it was not as friendly as the one in london but not bad: we shared a room with six people from cali that were just ending their six week trip and ze shared the room with two english girls who were their on holiday: i learned a lot about britan from them and we ended up hanging out with them one night: my favorite part of dublin was the day trip we took to the howeth penninsula: we did a cliff walk around the penninsula and it was one of the most beautiful sites ive seen in a reqlly long time: we could see boats going out to sea to fish for the day and you could hear the water as it hit the rocks at the bottom of the cliffs: it was really peaceful and a great change of pace from being in the city: it made me realize what people ùmeant when they said we needed to get out of dublin to really see ireland: the homes near the coast were gorgeous and all very unique from one another: the dogs there also ran around without leashes ; or as they would say ,leads;

facts that i have learned::: dublin won its independence in 1920 from britan:
in britan cookies are biscuits; leashes are leads; pants are trousers; garbqge cans are litter or rubbish containers: a lot more too::: cant remeber and too hard to type zwith this computer:

winnie and i slept at the airport last night; interesting experience and now my body hurts
i will be in paris till july 11

I'm so glad you got to Howth! I told you it would be worth it! I hope everything worked out during the nights out. I learned the hard way that pants are trousers (btw, pants=underwear, don't ask how I found that out) Yay for Paris! Have an amazing time and keep the updates coming! Love and miss you!
