first note from the girls! gen emailed me (georgia) and asked me to put it up. still can't believe they're already there! can't wait to meet up...
This unfortunately will be a short post, as I am typing on a iPod touch ( I apologize now for any spelling errors, the keys are incredibly tiny).
We made it to Dublin around 5 am Wednesday morning. After strolling casually through what we would later find out was customs, we eagerly headed to the baggage claim where were greeted first thing by our bike boxes (two of which had been inspected and I little banged up). Happy to have made with all of our gear we set out to find the taxi that would take us to the house we would be staying for the night. Maria W. and family (friends of a friend) were graciously willing to house us for two days, once we realized that more time maybe in order to sort out our first days route. A smart move which allowed us to venture into down town Dublin, see the sights, have a pint (for Julie) and meet up with a friend from home who has been studying abroad in Ireland. We've found it mind boggling the age of the city in comparison to home. Buildings dating back to the 1100's more than twice the age of our earliest settlements. We will have our first day of riding tomorrow, a 60 mile (about 100 km) ride along to coast to Wicklow. There is a 20 mph north east wind expected, brought with potentially for the first frost of the season. That's all for now... Stay tuned!

Ps- Riding on the other side of the road should be interesting. We almost lost Emma a few times today while trying to cross the streets of Dublin. It is a interesting concept to adjust to. Wish us luck!
