Well, another day and I am still exhausted. I got my pictures uploaded to Picasa but am having trouble blogging the pictures.
The trip was so wonderful. My only problem was that I got a stomach but the third night and my appetite was pretty off the whole trip. We saw so much. Our guide, Graham Bruce, was a font of knowledge and kept us informed of the areas we were traversing, both the history and the natural beauty. He is a retired teacher and has had so many fantastic experiences because of his historical and his political involvement in his home area.
He wears a kilt always and calls himself the Sweetie Man as he shares each day a different kind of candy with us. The Scots and I know the Irish also refer to candies as sweets. So we had quite a variety in two weeks.
I will tell more each day and eventually get pictures in. Today, I went to Sheboygan to the Glas Haus on 14th Street for the 4th Annual 100,000 Poets for Change. There were events like this all over the world. I sang The Island as my other poet's contribution. Then at the open mike portion read I Watched the Trees Die and Cellophane People as my own contributions.
They were all received well. Tomorrow I only have to leave to attend Mass in the morning and hope that by Monday I will no longer be so tired and more centered.
Hope everybody is well.

Felicia and I were frustrated by our airport experience (mostly because of the length of it and for some of the odd customer service). However, I am today feeling very blest when I read what is happening at OHare today. Looks like we really dodged a bullet. We got there. Ground travel is always more feasible. You know Dick always said. "If God had intended people to fly, He would not have invented the automobile."
I started this on Friday and did not get finished. Exhaustion took over. It is Saturday morning and I am preparing for the 100,000 poets for change event in Sheboygan and must rest again.
I promise to do SOMEthing on here tonight.
