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...

My European excursion is quickly coming to a close, but thankfully, there will be a few more hurtles to overcome and sights to see. The group from Murfreesboro is heading back, and Nick Howell and I will strike out on our own. We may flub it up royally. Haha. Speaking of royalty, I got to go to Edinburgh (pronounced Edinborough) today. It was straight raining for a long time, but we go a ray of sunshine on the way out. It was funny because our friend Kevin that drove told us that in his conversation with God, God said that the rain was a necessary part of the day but we could have some rain shortly. We got the first ray of sunlight while Kevin was telling someone that on the phone in Edinburgh. It was cool. Let me go ahead and say that John Jones was a trip maker for this leg of the journey. Along with others, John has broughten levity where it was very much appreciated. We just kind of picked up where we left of in the nineties. I'll also go ahead and say Jon Burgess is the man. P...

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...
