Back to England.

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:51:47 GMT

Arriving not-so-early in the morning after a ten hour coach ride form Edinburgh.
Early enough to see the sun come up, though.

Sexy Scotland

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:46:47 GMT

The sexiest hairy coo, Hamish.

"I fart in your general direction."

Seeing the Highland way of life.

The lovely, lovely city of Paris.

Leaving the colourful city of Amsterdam.

The canals in Amsterdam.

Flower Market
There really are tulips everywhere.

And off again.

Thu, 14 May 2009 14:32:26 GMT

Just as soon as I was settling back into Oxford, I took off for The Netherlands.

This is Becc, she's an Aussie I met in Ireland and we bonded over Guinness.

The End of the World.

Com Dhineol.
It is said that if you put your feet in the water at this beach, you leave part of your soul there and have 20 years to come back and claim it.
Just one more reason for me to return.

Killarney.

This is Pa. He told us stories and sang us songs all night. Loudest Irish man I've ever met, and also one of my favourites.

Day Three- Southern Ireland Adventure.

Fri, 01 May 2009 20:58:08 GMT

A fairy ring in Kinvara, Co. Galway.

The Burren.
This is just about the only bit of green you see for miles.

More Burren landscape.

The Cliffs of Moher.

That tiny person is me.

They advise you not to fall off the cliffs.

Our stay for the night, a tiny little parish called Doolin.
Doolin boats three pubs, about 6 street lamps, loads of B&B's and hostels and....well that's about it.
Food, drink, music, and a place to sleep.

Day Two- Southern Ireland Adventure.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:58:36 GMT

You can't see the peak of the mountain due to the fog, but this is the mountain they use for the Paramount Pictures logo.
And the statue is of course Saint Patrick.

Dhu Loch Valley

Connemarra

Kylemore Abbey

Clare Island

Irish Coffee.
Coffee, water, cream on top, and a shot of whiskey. What better way to wake up?

The Irish Whiskey is much better then what the Scots make.

My last night in England with Timothy.

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:16:14 GMT

Tomorrow I leave for Ireland, so Tim and I got to hang out one last day together in Jolly Old England!
I will miss him.

Farewell Timothy, until I see you in a couple weeks in Paris....

Timothy likes to see pictures of himself on my journal.

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:37:09 GMT

Timothy, after grocery shopping in Kidlington.

My English home.
Barry and Pam.

Tim, looking tense at the thought of his first night in a hostel.

Locked out.

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:18:16 GMT

This is the back yard of my England home.

Getting locked out can be made interesting.

Tim doesn't like wearing matching socks.

Also, watch Tim dance.

Museums, and libraries and pubs, oh my.

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:28:48 GMT

The Eagle and Child pub ("The Bird and the Baby") for a nice lunch of fish and chips and mushy peas.

Off to The Museum of the History of Science.
And then to the Bodleian Library.

And all before class.

Tim was upset that there wasn't a picture of him.
So here it is.

Being coloured, do you find it hard to swim?

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:20:10 GMT

Having Timothy with me in England, is swell.

Showing Timothy Mr. Tolkien's resting place.

Taking Timothy to English pubs to see jazz bands.

Making our own jazz band in Kidlington.

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:38:58 GMT

Timothy, welcome to England.

No, these are not post cards.

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:35:24 GMT

Yes, these are real.

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:28:13 GMT

More Oxford.

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:18:17 GMT

Seeing as I live in Oxford, I have many many photos of it.

You will see many of them as well, but not nearly as many as I actually have.

Wanderer.
