	Not to interrupt the Great Lakes discussion (love the sand dunes by the way) but I had a funny story having to do with Guinness. My husband and his brother went to Ireland way back when and they did a tour of the Guinness factory. At the end they give you two tokens to "buy" two pints with in a pub that is at the end of the tour. They met some guy there (60+) who was very friendly. He sat with them while they had their drink. While they both like Guinness (my husband especially) one was enough so they ended up giving their leftover tokens to the guy. When they were leaving they saw him approaching other people. They figured out he probably sits in the pubs all day and gets the leftover tokens from lightweight drinkers like my husband. Love it!

I did the same guiness factory tour with my family. I was so rubbish I drank 1/4 a pint of my guiness and had to give it to my mum to drink for me. How non-manly is that?!

	The tour is a bit sh!t unless you are heavily interested in Guinness and brewing through the years etc. Mind, you do get to visit the "Sky" bar which gives a nice view of Dublin city. Last time I was there the Guinness wasn't even that good, and was poured by an Aussie... (btw I'm not being racist there is an art to pouring it) btw Nikki if you do get to drinking Guinness you will get to know the difference between a good pint and a not so good pint. Best places to drink it are "old man" pubs. Usually cause the barman knows if he serves up a crap pint he'll get it straight back. Dubz

A friend of mine did a cycling tour of Ireland back when we were in highschool and she sent these really funny emails from the hostel one day after coming back from the pub. I remember they involved inflatable sheep, mad cows and the phrase "guinness equals grossness." Alas, in our post Uni days, she is quite the Guinness fan. Although, i think we both tend to go for Strongbow more so than Guinness at a pub. The wimps that we are.

My great, great, great grandmother on my mom's side (easier to say my great-grandmother's grandmother) was full blooded Cherokee, some on my grandfather's side as well, but he didn't know exactly how it fit in. That was around Tennessee, Virginia areas. All that shows up in me is my lumpy nose!

We ate out at an Irish Pub last night and I thought, "ahh...what the heck!" hehe. To my surprise, it was actually really good! I've seen the Great Lakes several times, but this time was definitely the best. The weather was perfect. Not a cloud in the sky. We found this awesome beach where there were sand dunes and the water was just so gorgeous and there were massive white-cap waves taller than me! :) It was fun. Can you, your mom and aunt adopt me ? Cheers !
