Catch-Up

First off, let me apologize for not writing in quite a while.  As one can imagine in the past two-three weeks quite a bit has happened.  We had a week off from the course so Elizabeth and I headed to the big city with our dear neighbors.  It was a very quick but fun trip, we took the bus to Dublin on Tuesday and only had one day there which we successfully spent in the Guinness Factory.  It is a very cool tour and an even cooler building and I would recommend that anyone who is in Dublin should take the trip.  The Gravity bar on the very top of the building has a 360° view of the city.  The bustling lifestyle of Dublin took us by surprise since we have been living quite rurally for the past two months, but the change was a good one.  We took the train back on Thursday and had a blast playing Go Fish and Charades. 

Halloween.  For some reason the creative juices were pulsing on Halloween, inspired by my excursion to the Guinness Factory.  I was a pint of Guinness.  If I say so myself, it was pretty awesome! I wore a black dress with Guinness in paper letters across my chest, I painted my shoulders white and put baby powder in my hair.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get a free drink out of the costume.  I saw some pretty sweet costumes than night: a mime, one-foot Willy (you can imagine!), a pimp, a dead doll, a playboy bunny, a zombie, Ché, a sexy secretary (the one and only Elizabeth), a robber, a CSI agent, and many, many more. 

Now I am in my PJs, sitting on my kitchen table, looking out my window at the Peak, listening to good music and watching the surfers master their skills.  I don’t know how it gets much better than that!
