A Quick Update

Just a few things, a more in depth account of Ireland to come.

I'm having a great time, keeping
busy and doing lots of cool new stuff. I just spent the weekend in
Ireland with some friends. We were in Dublin briefly then went to
Cork where a friend of mine has a friend. It was pretty cool to hang
out with some authentic Irish guys and go out with them. Ireland is
full of the nicest people I've ever met, it's was a pleasant change
from the Czech Republic where no one even makes eye contact. I have
been so busy with trips and excursions around Prague that my time here
is flying by. I can't believe that I'm already more than a quarter
done with my trip. I was very fortunate in my apartment assignment.
I am with 3 other guys and there is an apartment of 4 girls in my
program next door. It's a great group for the most part. The guy
that I share a room with is a tool and doesn't fit in, or do dishes.
That's ok though because he isn't around all that much and the rest of
the people are great. We live in the George apartment (not sure why
they're called that) so we have George family dinners and George
family outings. They are really fun. A couple of the others are
really good cooks so we have dinner and dessert and sit around and
drink lots of wine. We even have a candle. I am going to Madrid next
weekend and then I'll be in the Czech Republic for a while. Doing
some trips around CR I hope and playing rugby. I am really excited
for this upcoming rugby season, I have been enjoying practice and have
been renewing my interest in rugby. The weather here is starting to
warm up a bit and I'm hoping that trend continues.
