Galway, Ireland

First things first, we're going to try a new approach to this and take turns making entries - a picture of the typist will appear at the top.

Xander and Courtney's wedding was sweet. The 12-hour reception culminated in traditional Irish dancing to House of Pain. Nice. We actually got two days of nice weather on Saturday and Sunday. We took a nice hike along the Cliffs of Moher through cow pastures and under electric fences. I don't think the farmers here have shotguns, at least we hope they don't.

Galway is a pretty cool city, but like most of Ireland, there's not much to do here but drink pints. We sat outside for about 2 hours yesterday and I got a nasty sunburn - that gets you mad street cred in these parts. The weather couldn't be worse today.

We're off to Athlone tomorrow to, as Erin keeps saying, "dig up some graves." I'm pretty sure there's a better term for tracking down one's ancestors, but who knows.

And yes, Spragoo, we will be hitting 2 of the 7 new wonders (Taj Mahal and Great Wall). If you're looking for polls, talk to Ben and Lars, they're feverishly working on one.

Take care.

How is it possible, Geoff, that you are the tallest person in that first picture?

I knew you'd have a bunch of new experiences on your journey, but did not expect that to be one of them.
