Hello to all. So sorry that I have not posted any new stories. Well let’s see, when I last left you I was going to Normandy. That turned out to be a big expensive bust. This dumbass French lady, who worked in the tourist office, told me that I had lots of time and lots of trains to take me to beaux. Well when I got to the train station, oh sorry the last train left 20 min ago. WHAT?????? So now very pissed off I tried to find a hotel. Went to four places, sorry big boat festival this weekend, your not going to find anything. So now in a rage I had no choice but to get on the last boat back to England or I was sleeping on the street. I made it back to the boat at the very last second. 2 1/2 hours later I was back in England. Now I had a new problem, the last train from London to Cambridge left long before I could even get there. So, I was once again in the same situation but with no Omaha or Utah beach. So I really started to kick myself at this point. Also, the train stations close for cleaning for about 5 hours so I could not stay there. I had to get to kings cross-station anyway. So I met this really nice crack-head lady and here huge dog asking for directions. She ended up walk me all the way to kings cross. WOW, this lady had been through it all and now it was just her and her dog. Kids, "don’t smoke crack!” it will ruin your life. So that was interesting. I waited outside of kings cross for about 2 hours until I got the first train to Cambridge that left at 5:45 in the morning, which ironically was the same time that I got the train from Cambridge to London the previous morning. So having not slept in a bout 24 hours, once I made it back to my room, I hit the bed and did not wake up for quite awhile. So that’s the story of my failed Normandy trip. School went by really fast that week and it was time to travel again. Last weekend a big group of us went to Dublin. The city is not much to write home about, but the people were amazing and singing Irish folk songs at the pubs has been the highlight of my trip so far. One week left of school, with lots of work to do. Then I will be home Monday night. Tomorrow I am off to Amsterdam. Yes I finally got a hotel. Will do what I can about putting up pics. I have to go to a Internet cafe to do it, and the last time was there I had to stand in line for about 45 min, so yeah that sucks. Miss you all and will see you soon.
