Quick update from Ennis

I apologize for the lack of updates since Chicago. It turns out my Irish phone isn't set up to send email at the moment, so I haven't been able to blog-by-phone as I was from my old phone, and the school I'm at doesn't have internet right now (they've cancelled their dial-up in anticipation of getting broadband, but so far, it hasn't come through yet). I'm at the public library in Ennis at the moment, soon to be heading over for my first lesson on the pipes. I'm a bit nervous, but excited.

I have a few long posts that I've been collecting on the plane and before bed last night on the travels so far, but I'm going to have to wait until a later time to get them transferred up here.

Suffice to say at the moment that everything has been terrific! I had no problems getting through immigration and customs, my even made the flight, and I had a wonderful first day/evening with Bill and Tania at The Flowing Tide Music School and am looking forward to the rest of my week here in Clare before moving on up to Galway next week.

Note: I just switched the timezone settings over to Irish time, which apparently changed the time for all posts, current and past. Not sure if I'll keep it that way, or set it back to EDT or CDT, but it is what it is for now.
