April 9th, and tomorrow we fly out.
The Twin Cities never disappoint. From delicious food to dancing through a lively Zumba class, every moment with family and friends felt like a celebration. Crossing the mighty Mississippi always calls for a Mark Twain quote, and today, I found just the right one.
“You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your ‘friends’”.
One photograph can hold a universe of meaning. These images whisper stories beyond what words can tell. Some places capture your heart for a visit, but one truly feels like home. It's now time to get some rest. Dublin tomorrow

Still in Florida on April 6th
Anyone who reads my work, books, and blog/stories knows I love a good quote. So when I started preparing my journaling for this trip, I must have spent at least a few days skimming through quotes.
I spent some of this Easter break creating an Irish vibe by working on a few half pints of Guinness, watching the movie The Commitments, and studying maps of Ireland. And as I listened to The Belfast Cowboys, a great Minneapolis band that covers Van Morrison, I am reminded that we can be transformed to a place we've never set foot in.
So, tune in to this Van Morrison song and close your eyes as you sail into the mystic.
"Sláinte" (pronounced slawn-cha)
We were born before the windAlso, younger than the sun'Ere the bonnie boat was wonAs we sailed into the mystic
I hope you’re having a fabulous time so far!
