i am in amsterdam, i have fifteen minutes left on my internet time and i have no shift button, so i will do the best that i can!

after dublin we went through southern ireland. my favorite part was killarney national park. we unfortunately found this at the very end of our trip and did not have enough time to explore as much as we wanted, but we did bike through it one day and it was absoultely breathtaking. if you want to know what i mean, please google image it. the town itself was pretty neat, and it had traditional music flowing out of every pub. and i finally, after four days in ireland, ate shepards pie--so good!

we then flew on ryan air to paris. that was an experience in itself...paris, to be honest, is kind of dirty and really expensive. also, ive never been to a country where i dont speal ANY of the language and i didnt realize how much harder it would be to get around. i tried to speak french anyways, which was funny, and geoff thinks france is stupid because they dont speak english.

we did do some pretty cool thing when we were there. we took a day trip to versailles which is insanely big, you could get lost in the gardens alone. we also climbed the STAIRS to the second floor of the eiffel tower. its 43 stories and way harder than it looked like it was going to be. we have a wonderful corny picture kissing on the top!

we skipped brussels because of the train schdeule and now we are in amsterdam in the netherlands. it is by far my favorite city so far. everyone is so laid back. it is very picturesque--very ëpcot" europe. the streets are brick and cobblestone and they are separated by canals. there are shops selling wooden shoes and all of the signs are in dutch and english. the only nondisney things are the coffee shops where no one drinks coffee and the redlight district.

we went one a three hour walking tour today and learned a lot-- like how the girls who work in the redlight distrct actually rent out their windows and have emergency buttons that go to the police station if things get violent. they also pay taxes. its pretty interesting if you think about it. like i said i didnt have a lot of time, but there is a little update of what were doing!!
miss you all!
