Safe and Sound
June 24, 2006
So after an entire day of traveling, I got to Belfast this morning safe and sound. My flight from STL to Chicago was delayed, as was Chicago to Newark, then Newark to Belfast, so all in all, I lost quite a bit of time, but I got to Belfast this morning about 9AM their time, so 3ish ours. Lisa and I have been walking around the city most of the day, we went to a market, which was lovely, with all kinds of fresh food and merchants selling jewelry or clothing, but my favorite part was seeing all these little girls with their faces painted with butterflies. They were painted like a mask, with their eyes in place of the circles of the wings. does that make sense? they were highlighted with glitter, and were just really pretty. i wanted to take pictures but i didn't want to be a crazy tourist. Walking around the city was nice, it's maybe 70 degrees and partly cloudy, good walking weather, and we stopped and got a pint, which was lovely. i have to say that i am getting pretty tired, so i think i'll try to take a quick catnap. Just wanted everyone to know I'm here and everything's great.
Cheers!

Hey Jaime–
I got myself a Canon Powershot A620…it’s a nice little camera, it does some neat things…but it’s no Rebel, that’s for sure.
