This is Danny. That last post from Galway, I thought at that point that was the end of Ireland proper (as in when you give in to events and end up where you didn't expect). You guys remember that girl from the first post on Dublin, who lent me her laptop.. well two weeks later, when I sat down in my hostel in Galway, was her, right there, Desirae!! Weird...!! Anyway the next day she drove me up to Donegal, which is a really dank town. Then from there, I took the bus to Dublin (instead of from a rather boring Galway), wandered in Temple Bar (again more people at night than at noon), and slept and then flew to Paris where my parents fed me well and housed in a posh hotel. Then the next day they sent off, via TGV, to Vienna (with a stopover in Zurich), and I finally arrived, a day (unecessarily) before the three other guys. No worries, I just got a bed in a room full of curious Brits ("does everybody really use those plastic red cups?") and spent the day meandering the Vinna Old Town. Then in the evening I had the emotional reunion with three guys I've know for about 70 lifetimes. But where's that other guy, the goofy one who we all thought for a while had ADD? Dude we think about you and in that way you're here already. Now on to Charlie->
Yer. Now it's the big guy (Charles). David, Rob and I made it to Venice (in case you weren't sure) and enjoyed about a day and a half there. We arrived at about 6 and hung out for a little as we were rather tired. At 8 however, we met up with the girls I had met in Nice. They were slightly surprised that we showed up in Venice(we were slightly surprised about this too) but we ultimately had a fun time with them. We ended up playing pong with this AMerican guy living in Venice. He was a frequent visitor at a bar we were in and set us up with tables, balls and dip cups. we played a couple of games before walking back to our hostel and just barely making our curfew. We, however, were far more punctual for our psycho hostel employees than we are for our parents. The next day we woke up relatively early to get our train tickets. We had to place our bags in lockers at the train station due to the whacky siestas taken by our hostel employees (the hostel completely shuts down from 12 to 3). We then head to San Marco's and checked the important sights in Venice. We also stopped at Harry's Bar which was fun to see, but slightly disappointing since the bar required pants and the restaurant required an outrageous amount of ducats. We had neither pants nor ducats.
In Vienna we arrived at the Sudbahnhof train station, while Danny waited for us at the Westbahnhof train station. By the time he realized the mistake and searched for us at the Sudbahnhof station, we had arrived at the hostel's room already. Whammy. Anyway, thanks to the magical powers of cell phones, we met up with Danny, hugged and walked off towards a greek dinner swapping stories.
Greeting Danny, we were reminded of how much we miss all of you guys back home. Your comments, messages, wall posts, survival kits, books and gifts have kept us well. We really do think about you often.
Honestly,
Team America
Goodnight

Well boys, I'm so glad you're all back together!! Don't worry, you didn't miss much at Harry's Bar... dinner there was really good, but the restaurant was generally over-rated. The belini was the only thing you missed out on, but I'll make you great belini's when you get home :) Love hearing your adventures- keep it up!
By the way, I hope you've kept a photo record of all the characters you've met along the way. I am dying for a visual of Desiree...

Glad you are all well and united (4+1 in spirit).
Luckily you didn't plan to reconnect and come together in Paris as there are four train stations. That would have been a real challenge for you guys.
So have a linzer torte for us and say hi to the Hapsburgs. And if my memory is correct there is a very cool watch or clock museum in vienna that is very special and absolutely worth checking out.
Love to all. Continued happy travels.

Glad to hear that you are all safe and together in Vienna.
Here in Hanleyville all is going well. Heidi and I took Liam to see Transformers during the week...surprisingly entertaining! Drove to Massachusetts on Thursday and picked up Phoebe from her soccer camp. She is wiped out after 6 days of soccer boot-camp, but she met many talented keepers from around the country and she is already planning a reunion with them at a soccer camp next year.
Last night the 4 of us piled into Mom’s brand new Mini Cooper and drove tothis curious Spanish / Peruvian restaurant in Port Chester. Liam (as expected) ordered mussels for an appetizer and a Peruvian multi-fish dish for his entrĂ©e, then he hopped next door the El Salvador ice cream shop to get his favorite coconut ice cream. He was having his own gustatory international experience.
Then back into the mini and over to the Port Chester movie complex to see the long awaited Harry Potter….a bit dark and foreboding was this film and definitely a set up for the next release.
Phoebe and I are now preparing for our trip to Italy for her soccer tournament near Lake Como.
Remember Rob….find a Werstelbox and see if they are as good as we remember.
XXOO to all 4 of you guys,
Jim
