Sitting in Dublin, again

and wondering if I should blog something. I hate to blog when I don't have something more tangible to say but here's something anyhow.

I really like Europe - the people are much more friendly and things just seem to work better (then 'normal'). Now, I am not saying its better than home - different for sure and maybe more to my liking: great food, great architecture, lots of things to see and do (which so far is not that far off from home) but I gotta say I love the politics.

Not just because they aren't real fans of Geo Bushy but the fact that the average citizen here can tell me more about our foreign policy than I know, when things happened, what occurred next - which led to this thing over here. I was once schooled by a 10 year old who knew more about our political system than I imagined the average American would know. Shameful.

So here I sit, 2:30 in the am, jet lagged as all and I am trying to figure out where to spend the weekend, a quick trip, and have the following easy options:
Paris
Brussels
Geneva

There are more but not with the timing that suits me this trip... So, any suggestions?
