Summer I: Randal Kleiser influences my life!

The song "Summer Nights" from Grease really speaks to me! Summer always despairingly ends with an instant change in the temperature, (Danny and Sandy leaving the beach, parting ways) my professional focus returns to annual conference preparations (going back to school) BUT FIRST before it's too late (the morning bell), it is totally necessary to blog about how much fun I've had in the last three months (the song "Summer Nights"). Pretend that I'm singing this post....I've always wanted my life to be a musical!

Part One of my summer begins with the Foresman Sister's European Adventure 2008, BudaDub! This year, B and I didn't have a fellow sister with us, the result, lots of scenic pictures.

Taken from the Funicular. Definition from Wikipedia: The Budapest Castle Hill Funicular or Budavári Sikló is a funicular railway in the city of Budapest, in Hungary. It links the Adam Clark Square and the Chain Bridge at river level to the Buda Castle above.

Personally, I think it sounds like a great name for a vibrator. Was that inappropriate?

No, we didn't ride this around Budapest for four days but we did spend an hour peddling around Margaret's Island. B only let me drive for a few minutes as it took me that short of time to become known as a reckless bicycle built-for-two driver.

BUDA-CAT

My absolute favorite picture of B and I at the Guinness Storeroom. In Ireland, people spoke English and we were able to explain to them how our camera worked with little or no confusion.

Dublin is wonderful! I fell in love with the city the moment I got off the plane. Maybe it was the rainbow I saw on the first day.

Awww....isn't that grand (typed in an Irish accent).

Part one must end here but not without Danny and Sandy's last words before the first bell of the day.....

"Summer dreams ripped at the seams,bu-ut oh, those su-ummer nights".
