It's a long way to Tipperary...

Do any of you know this old Irish folk song?

It's a long way to Tipperary,
it's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary,
to the sweetest girl I know.
Goodbye Piccadilly!
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
but my heart's right there.

One morning, I looked out of the window as we were driving and saw a sign that read "Tipperary County". I realized then that I had come quite a long way.

Here are several of the promised photographs from my trip. I will write more about the actual ongoings later, but right now, I just want to look through photos.


Having drinks at a pub in Dublin with Alicia and Stephanie. After this night, it became somewhat of a ritual.


This river ran parallel to the street our hotel was on in Dublin.


Dove Cottage: Home of William Wordsworth.


The Irish Countryside.


Salisbury Cathedral.


This Scottish guy was all dressed up to play the bagpipes.


Taken from a castle in Ireland.


Irish Coffee is fabulous. I think, if American coffee was made this way, we would all be much more friendly early in the morning. It's made with Irish Whiskey, coffee, and thick cream.


A beautiful stream somewhere in England.


The Roman Baths in Bath.


Stonehenge. While there my mind kept replaying the song from "This is Spinal Tap". Stonehenge...where the midgets dance with the pipes of Pan.


Buckingham Palace. The Queen stood me up for our afternoon tea-and-crumpets party. You can tell by the photo that I was somewhat disappointed. More about the crumpets than meeting the Queen.


The London Eye.


Across from our hotel in the Docklands, a quick tube ride from central London.


I wasn't too sure about this guy. I don't think he was too sure about me either.


Another photograph taken from a castle in Ireland.


A farmhouse in Kerry.


Castle stairs.


Guinness' for everyone! My first Guinness, but certainly not my last.


Big Ben.


A narrow street somewhere in England.


Brighton Pier. This is where we stayed our first night in England. Actually we stayed across the street, not on the carousel, silly.


The Tower Bridge, right beside the Tower of London.


The Queens gardens at her summer home...or rather, summer castle.


Taken on a tour of a castle.


The Bay of Bengal.


Mom and me after lunch in Soho.
