my dawgs is achin'!

well, over the past couple days, i have spent about:

• 12 hours flying
• 4 hours in airports
• 15 hours walking
• 4 hours drinking pints/wine and/or conferring with my maps/books of glasgow and/or getting my hair twist-braided

i think my actual pint-drinking time is deplorable, but i figure there'll be much more of that going on once i join the rest of the backpackers in edinburgh. free internet here in glasgow, though, so i thought i'd check in.

glasgow is a true mecca for the art lover. i've been to 5 or 6 gallery/museum/structure type dealies. some of you may think that sounds boring, but there are people who actual travel here just for that aspect of glasgow.

i am looking very forward to continuing onto more traditional and outdoorsy scottish experiences. but i'm off to ireland first for about 5 days. leaving first thing in the morning with the backpackers group. we'll take the ferry to belfast and start things there.

i've met some remarkable people already, and i cannot wait to continue this soul-igniting journey. it's good to have emails to read when i have a chance to check it (especially if i pay for the privilege), so if i like you & you like me, write me one :)

if possible i'll try update once or twice more before heading home so it's not a spew-blog when i get back to the states.

cheers!
