My Summer Adventures in Dublin

Dublin: June 13- August 14.

-2 days

My time in Georgia is almost over because I'm leaving tomorrow for Dublin! I have never been more eastern in the United States than Ohio and never more southeastern than San Antonio. I definitely had some preconceived notions about "The South." Like everyone parked their cars in their lawns, were missing 14 teeth and didn't know what vegetables were. 

But the grocery store carried quinoa and Amy's Vegan pizza. And there are garages and dental offices. The people here are pretty much like the people everywhere. The vegetation and industry is different, but the people were pretty much the same but with better accents. I have a feeling I'll be seeing some similar things in Ireland.

Maggie the dog got bitten at doggie day care and got an infection and we had to cancel our trip to the aquarium to take her to the vet. She seems like she's on the road to recovery now, back to the usual play biting and nose whistling. I pretty much just spent the day watching the World Cup and eating lunch at a great restaurant in Gainesville called Two Dog where we met some silly politician. I was too busy playing on my blackberry to shake his hand but still managed to be awed by his spray tan. 

My phone will be turning off for good tomorrow at about 10PM. If you need to contact me and it's an emergency, call my cell and you'll get the number to reach me. Otherwise, just shoot me an email or catch me on facebook.
