:) So by popular demand I guess I´m going to try to give you guys a longer blog. We are in Barcelona right now but we leave tomorrow to head to Nice. Yesterday we kind of got rained in but today we spent almost 3 hours on the beach and it was amazing. After seeing the Pacific once in my life I have now swam in the Atlantic while in Ireland and now in the Mediterranean. They have really cool markets around with a lot of very interesting people. To backtrack a little bit I guess...our entire Ireland tour was just Amazing! We went to a bunch of places (and pubs) like Galway, Killarny, Doolin, Blarney, etc. Then we had a day in London where we did have to put some pictures on discs because we have started to take them in excessive amounts. Carla also dropped her fleece sweatshirt in a puddle...not of water...yup...urine. We took a night bus to Paris then where we went on the chunnel...Carla ended up having a moment in there because we were in a bus which was in a box under the water so it wasn´t a restful moment for her to think about. Paris was really great though. The first thing we did was laundry because of our little London incident. We met up with a friend from our Irish tour and ended up meeting someone from Illinois that we hung out with a lot. (I guess Carla mentioned that).We went to the Louvre and saw the Eiffel tower, a bunch of times. Ended up having a picnic there and playing frisbee in front of it. Climbed about halfway up it too.We did see a lot of other things too (Notre Dame, etc).we took a night train to Barcelona which was surprisingly comfortable. It´s all been quite the adventure. We´ve been safe, don´t worry! And actually the people have all been very nice...even in France. Barcelona has actually given us some of the grumpier I guess. We both can´t believe that we´ve hit the halfway mark on our trip...but yet we´re really excited to get back to high speed internet and see all of you!! We definitely forgot to mention the other day though...congrats Jill and Steve on your anniversary...hope you had a marvelous one! Also, Katherine´s video is awesome....can´t believe we missed out on that!! In case anywone else wants to see our niece walk like a pro... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OntqXOZCw_U It´s adorable! I hope everyone is having a great summer and can´t wait to talk to you soon!! Love, Denise
