Late update
Written earlier for post.
So, we arrived in Birmingham England today at about 7:45 AM, we then took a train to the city centre and had to find the tourism centre and find a place to stay. We used the Internet at a coffee shop right outside of the train station but all the hostels were booked so guess where we are staying? That’s right a pub, we are sleeping in a flat up above the pub and there is a great view from the roof. Walking around today I had a genuine feeling of contentment, looking at this beautiful city and all the beautiful architecture built by God’s finest creation. Interesting enough Darwin is on the 10-pound bill here opposite of the Queen, who of course the prayer “God save the Queen” refers to. Not that Darwin’s teachings are necessarily anti-Christian I mean he did show us microevolution which is documented today, but enough of that. We are back at the pub upstairs about to rest and do some reading, all the internet connections up here are Starbucks Tmobile hotspots that you have to pay to use so in the morning we will wander back to the coffee shop we used earlier today and post this entry along with some pictures.

One thing no body warned me about, the only truly hazardous thing in Europe, is the terrible sparkling water. I’ve purchased it twice by accident, and it’s misery in a bottle. It was surely created by some spiteful misanthrope. Birmingham has a decent city center--a very posh and modern mall surrounded by multiple Starbucks—but beyond that I’ve only seen businessmen and hotels. In the morning we’ll probably check the tourism center for interesting sites and then eventually mosey out of town.

UPDATE we are in a coffe lounge in Birmingham looking for a place to stay in Northhampton so we are off very soon. Expect a few pictures, still of Dublin, but eventually you will see the fabulous Birmingham pics.
