That memorial looks so impressive. I read an article about it in Sculpture magazine a few months back and remember thinking how intense it must be to walk through all that cold, solid concrete. And you got to do that! How cool!

Camping and biking, biking and camping

Yesterday started with trials. However, I got the sunshine that Robin prayed for. Good good. Then it began. I had gotten a flat tire on the way to his house, and he came and picked me up three days ago. Simple enough to change the flat, right? Three more flat tires is what I was looking at yesterday. Ha, I would get about 50 yards down the road and hear that familiar hiss. I didn't lose it, though. I kept my calm and enjoyed the close to five hours it took to ride 18 miles. I did sort of lose it when I was riding on Rathlin Island's roads and my chain got stuck under the chainrings. It took a little doing and a pocket knife, but the last hurtle gave way. I got to enjoy camping on an island in the middle (well, maybe corner pocket) of the Atlantic Ocean. Rathbone Island is what I like to refer to it as, though, because it sounds way more cooler. Learn about it here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathlin_Island It has easily been the highlight of Northern Ireland. I got over t...

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...

I have learned maybe 14 German words in the last 6 days. One complete phrase I have learned: "Ich will schwarz sein." I now have aspirations of living in a foreign land long enough to where I am forced to learn the language completely. This was originally a good part of living in New Mexico, but I have a feeling that I would have stayed part of the white culture too much. Our friend Lars has gone back to his native lands. We had fun touring Berlin and Dusseldorf while 11-year-olds checked him out. Of all the culture in Germany, I learned most about the sweets. They have chocolates with nuts, something akin to an ice cream sandwich but not frozen, toffees, kit kat like bars but better, flakes in chocolate, weisse crisp, cookies dipped in chocolate and Riesen (Giants). It's kind of like the Burgess' house in Florence (AL not IT) on steroids. My blood sugar level says more sugar than blood. Tomorrow we are going to Köln (Cologne) to see a huge cathedral and a place where...
