Bed Time?

It is 7:13pm in Colorado which is a little bit before my bed time.  Too bad it is 2:13 am in Ireland where I currently lay my head to rest.  I am not sure if it is the time change or the blessings of this day, but I can't sleep.  We met some new friends at Common Grounds cafe near Queens University in Belfast on one of the few snow days of their year.
We have hopes of eventually filling everyone in on what is happening on our trip, but it seems unlikely that we will be able to share the details up to date simply because we are in the midst of so many different experiences and trying
 to process them ourselves much less give a credible account.
One thing that is happening universally is our hearts are growing for the people of Ireland. (Yes, even the punk college kids that almost hit my four month old son with a slush ball)  Even though they get rain here on regular basis it was like snow in Dallas.  The city slows down and kids flock to all surfaces where the cold white stuff sticks so that they too can join the fun.

Here is a picture of the moon 7 hours early.  Go outside and check it out in a few hours to see if it is the same one.  We love you all!
