this is awesome
Amazing story about the streets of London... a little bit:
The flashy snails have had their drab shells given a paint job for nothing - and they didn't even have to move a muscle.
A London artist, known only as Slinkachu, has used the molluscs' shells for a series of designs dubbed 'Inner City Snail – a slow-moving street art project'.

One story from Ireland...
Great time in Galway

The Dixie Micks were playing (clever) and this amazing guy just started dancing so frantically you couldn't help but smile. It was the greatest dance I have ever seen in my life... I almost peed. I think it is part irish, part michael jackson, part totally nuts.
As a side note, the fiddle player Fergal Scahill just won (they said) 'fiddle player of the year' in traditional irish music magazine... he was amazing to watch. His mom was in the audience cheering him on (the lady in the middle at the end of the video), and I think just as amazed at this guy as the rest of us.
After this a bunch of drunk swedish girls started dancing with him and rallied everyone else in the bar to get up and pretend to know what they were doing... great times! Go Jameson and Guiness!

In Kinsale, IRE
Just leaving Kinsale Ireland right now. We have put over 1000 km on our left handed overpriced vehicle and almost completed the circumference of the south west coast. Onward to KillKenny (sp?) tonight for more beer, sausage, f'n potatoes and music. It has been a great trip so far. Wait til you see the photos. Lomos will be fantastic.
