Hello...thank you all for your emails and prayers. We watched the news this morning on the tele regarding how it is in London right now...and looks like the tube is up and running once again (except for Kings Cross station) as normal, and the buses are going as usual too. Those in London are trying to go about business and life as usual despite the bombings yesterday (the British are a resiliant people). I think the death toll is 33 right now and 17 critically injured and hundreds more injured in some way or another. They are still investigating at the bomb sites as to if it was suicide bombers or not. And they haven't confirmed if it really was Al Queda terrorists...all they have to go by right now is a claim on a website known for Al Queda Gihad in Britian. Hopefully by the time we get to London next week Wednesday it will be all sorted...we praise God that our trip plans had us over here in Ireland right now. Thank you so much for your continued prayers for our travels...we sooooooo appreciate them!!! We head to Wexford, Ireland today...this will be our final stop before leaving Ireland. I'm not sure if we'll do the Waterford Crystal factory today or tomorrow (Saturday)....but we leave early Sunday morning on a ferry from Rosslare to Pembroke Wales. Then we'll need to get transport to Cardiff (which is quite some ways away) in order to pick up our rental car. Then we'll drive to Bath, England (all that on Sunday!) Yesterday amidst the terrible tragedy of the terrorist bombings in London...we enjoyed a leisurely day at Blarney Castle...and climbed all the way to the top to kiss the Blarney Stone. It was a great deal of fun...and quite the thrill being hoisted over the side of the castle head first to reach down and kiss a stone (that probably millions of others have kissed) in order to receive "the gift of eloquence"...or what the Irish call "the gift of gab". Ha! I think I already have that, doncha think?!!! We got our pictures taken and an official certificate stating we did it! Again, I don't know what the email situation will be from here....but I will try my best to keep in contact as we go. I send my love. Cheers, Lisa
