it's kind of funny...
...but i swear there are like 3 irish pubs on every corner here, and they keep playing U2 on the radio. what kind of place is this?!
ha ha. ok so had a few more days in the huuuuuge town of prague before catching a flight to dublin. on the way saw the best circular-rainbow-around-plane-shadow of all time, right next to us in the clouds, huge & vibrant. i was groping for my camera but just couldn't reach it in time.
dublin's a much smaller city & much more manageable than the last few, thank goodness! there was even some sunshine when i arrived, though it hasn't hung around much. looks like i'll be around here for a while, with the possibility of picking up some cash-ola along the way, maybe move on after the new year. it's a good place to be, albeit my 5th big city in a row (!) - actually 9th if you count my visit to the usa. need to get out into the country again one of these days before i go craaaaazyyyyy, but at this point i'm not sure when it will be.
oh yeah i fell in love for the second time on this trip. the first time was the sailboat in croatia, did i ever mention that one? oh my goodness it was so beautiful, my palms were sweating and everything. so the other day is was in an outdoor-type shop just looking around, & passed the usual rack of travel books, when my eye wandered back to a cover, "Trans-Siberian Railway". oh me oh my. heart racing, butterflies in the stomach, i could swear there were birds singing in the shop! sometimes i think i'm getting a little weary in the travel biz, this was a nice reminder that i really haven't lost it. it's a definite plan now! probably not during this trip, but it just has to be done. tee hee.
what else, wandered around & found a bunch of health shops, which i was really excited to see. even bought a not-so-great soy-product imitation-peperoni stick thing, just because i could. i'm not really into the veg-imitation stuff, but i think i was high on health fumes or something.
well i may be hanging around dublin for a while, but it doesn't mean the feet are keeping still. i just booked a ticket to london for the last weekend of the month, to go to a dinner with my croatian language school folks. and i still have to figure out what to do for christmas. accommodations are looking pretty full here, and i still have that thought lingering in the back of my head, of a freezing dark scandinavian christmas....

No!!! I just can't hit Santa!
Odds are it wasn't the real Santa, but how can you ever be sure!?
(Die Fledermaus): Here's a clue; if he jumps and kicks you in the stomach, it's probably not Santa!
ha ha, you funny!
