Born in the USA

Being back in this country never felt so good. Well not really but that's alright. It was a bit of a dismal trip in terms of sports, as the Sounders fell 1-0 to the Galaxy and we decided not to fork over upwards of 80 dollars for Canucks tickets. On the flip-side, seeing Donovan and Beckham play in person was pretty cool, and watching the 6-nations rugby tournament in an Irish pub with foreigners was an experience all its own. Staying in the hostel was also quite the experience. It was a melting pot of Irish, Australian, British and American travelers all in one place at one time. The smack talk between the Irish and British continued on constantly between the people we met. Luckily the American boys were spared. However we did have to endure a barrage of "we bail you out into every war you get yourselves into" and "oh, Libya? didn't see that one coming..." When it was all said and done however, it was a pretty fun trip. We even got our culture on and visited the Vancouver art museum (without paying the admission fee, I might add) Here are a few pictures from the trip.
