Hard to tell, hard to tell


I almost feel like I live here now. Today, I worked in the bike shop that I rented the bike from last week. It has been a strange set of occurences but enjoyable, nonetheless.
Austin (the owner and neighbor of Wally) was glad to have some help I believe because he runs this place that does maintenance, repairs, rental, sales and everything else having to do with bike by himself. It's kind of like MOAB but a one man show.

Last night was good. I bought some groceries and read part of Road to Ballyshannon. It's a cool book because it has to do with the conflict here in NI. It's also interesting because it mentions a whole lot of the places that I visited on my bike ride.

I leave for Berlin tomorrow on my rescheduled ticket and will meet up with Matt and Lars. Good times I suspect.

So, are you working in the bike shop to make some extra money? Or as a type of barter system for having a place to stay?

I sit in my parents' living room as if it were all a dream. Kelsey's still alive so at least I can sleep tonight. The visit to Shiloh turned out really well. I wish I could have stayed longer. They asked me if I had plans for the summer, and I had to say yes. Hopefully we'll be getting things cranked up for an academic experience at New Frontiers. I wore my camp shirt many times during my tenure in the Europe. (this could be due to the fact that I only took four shirts) Alas, they didn't overbook the flight to Nashville tonight. I was hoping to get bumped officially so that they gave me some flight moneys. Oh well. Back to life in TN. Thanks to everyone that encouraged and/or prayed for me while I was gone.

Already

This trip has gotten off to an interesting start. Already there have been adventures in simply getting to Belfast. Thankfully, there have been lots of friendly and helpful Irish along the way. Also, God is putting a hand in where need be. Let me tell you how... 1. I got to the check-in counter at Nashville's aeropuerto only to hear that my connecting flight to Newark, NJ was delayed 1.5 hrs. I didn't really have a problem with this, and I thought it might even earn me some flight bucks. No. The delay was due to weather in Houston which earns noone flight bucks. They checked other flights to find that the next definite flight that I could take was Thursday (this was Monday). I finally remember to ask God to fix it, and about thirty seconds later the guy helping me said, "Oh, wait your Belfast flight is a little delayed so it might work out." (or something to that effect) Bonus. 2. There were two other people going to Belfast from Nashville(natives), and they just happe...

Update!

I did not die in what may or may not have been a fire at our hotel. I did, however, leave there and go to Manhattan. New York City never ceases to amaze. I am currently typing this from underneath the 5th Ave. Apple glass cube that I didn't get to visit last time I was here. Tonight was the Apple iPhone premiere. I saw the super annoying guy from G4/TechTV. Beck is playing on the overdriven ceiling speakers, and this place is hopping. It's funny how as I approached the entrance to the Apple store and they had people clapping as someone would exit I felt more and more like it would be a good idea to buy an iPhone. Again, brains are weird. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and visit my bro bro at Shiloh camp in NY state. I love having vague directions and hoping things work out. Well, when they actually work out it's fun. Typing on this MacBook makes me want one. I gotta get out of here before I do something dumb.
