Leaving Dublin


That's it I guess... tomorrow I'm leaving Dublin. I have Said goodbye to everyone but I promised to return. I had a nice time today but there is nothing interesting to tell... From now on I won't write so often because there won't be a computer available all the time but I think you can handle it. Love you all!

Swimming in the Irish sea









Hi there all how's going?
Today I worked a little bit in my uncle garden, it was pretty nice because they are giving me place to sleep and food to eat and I haven't done anything for them so that was a nice opportunity. I've met my cousin Sam today, cute 11 years old child, he went with me and with Melany to the sea today. The Irish sea is very cold for those of you who are interested.. The water's temperature is something like 4 degrees (very cold) of course that didn't stop me from jumping into them over and over again... when you look on the pictures try to imagine cold winds, icy water and frozen rocks... and if you ask about the girls.. well they are Canadian.. have a nice time!

After the drinking contest










Ok i know what you think... You think that I've lost don't you?
WRONG!!!!
After drinking 5 pints of Guinness and a bit of tasting from all the other drinks (this was tough training during the day) I've won the contest. It wasn't easy but I came ready, drunk quickly and she was shocked and gave up. I wanted to buy another pint after the fifth but they closed the bar at midnight so I couldn't. I had a little headache during the day but it was worth it.
I'm a bit tired of writing and Smititzki wants to see the pictures so I will stop here. have a nice time and see ya when I will come back.

The Batlan is in the land of Leprechauns




Hi there... I'm here in Ireland in my uncle Leslie house for all those of you who were worried (and for those of you who were not). Actually starting my real trip. Leslie have a very nice house and very nice family, (and I'm one of those). I want to thank my uncle Maurice and aunt Shirley on all the things they have done for me. I think I would miss the flight without them... I'm going today to a real Irish pub for the first time in my life and tomorrow Melanie's friend (Leslie's daughter) is coming and she'll make a drinking contest with me so today I'm going to practice... wish me luck and have fun... your: The Batlan!!!

Bye bye London






Ok... Finished the trip in London.. Said goodbye to my family and I'm going tomorrow to the airport for my flight to Ireland. I did so many things today... Went to a picnic, saw the Clink prison museum (the place where the English were torturing their prisoners). Walked by the Thames river... And my real overseas trip hasn't even begun yet. Tomorrow morning I'm flying to Dublin and when I come back you shall all see how much a real Irishman can drink! Promise I won't let you down. Oh, and Bendel, be careful, you won't beat me in a drinking contest!
