I just want that fact out there in case I mess up some historical fact. If people know I'm a music teacher, then they'll say "It's ok, he's only a music teacher." If I say something profound, then it's "Wow! He's only a music teacher!" See how that works? I’m not offended and no apologies are necessary!

We loved it! The most interesting thing comes as kind of an epilogue to our journey. I was talking to my brother, who lives in Washington, D.C., shortly after our trip as he was visiting us in Nebraska. I told him that I was thrilled with the landscape and scenary of Ireland and how disappointing is was to come back to the flatness of Nebraska. He brought me back to reality when he contradicted me and said how wonderful Nebraska is. "Do you think I see this much sky in Washington?" he asked. Then, at the KC Irish Fest, I was speaking with Teada who just played in Nebraska a few days prior. One of them said "I have never seen so much corn!" I said, "Funny. When I was in Ireland, I saw more sheep than I had seen in my lifetime." It's all about perspective. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
