WOAH

So that was a whirlwind and a half. So here,s the progression. From Paris where i spoke none of the language, we went to the gorgeous magnificent country of Switzerland. it was just ok. The mountains, glaciers, crystal clear mountain lakes, crisp weather and they speak all languages...just about. we went canyoning which in a nutshell was awesome. We xent repelling, hiking, sliding and jumping off waterfalls, rip chording and swimming all in water that if we didn,t have our wet suits on would,ve given us hypothermia. The food was great, particularly a soft drink called rivella and swiss fondue. they also make cheesecake with crust on all sides, yum. From there we went to frankfurt for an afternoon and on to london, where we saw nothing but from the outside and ran into a good friend from way back, ryan mahoney. then to Dublin. you,ve gotta see that place. we took a bus tour of wicklow which is the surrounding countryside and wow. it rivalled switzerland something fierce. bea-utiful. Bono lives in dublin. he knows. then we went back to london where we spent the night in the airport and thomas and jenny left for porto and then home. i am now in paris, again, where i don,t know the language and the keyboqrds qre terrible. cqn you tell? Money has been more than tight and things are so expensive some places. Switzerland almost tore apart our friendships and then began to mend them again. It,s hard sometimes. A lot of things were dealt with in a manner in which theyshould not have been and miscommunication, lack of sleep and the elements begin to wear on you. it makes me sad to think about, but the petty things are too often mistaken for important and cause us to exchange harsh words. love to all. pictures are promised soon.
