so kelley and i finally made it to europe after a few short delays in the airport. the first of which was pretty much no surprise to me, i got stopped for the extra security check because there's either something about my last name or my mug shot of a picture on my passport. they took a full body image of me - a little awkward but it was no full body search so i was alright with it. the next delay was a HUGE surprise to everyone on the plane. it started catching speed down the runway, faster and faster and then slower and slower...that's not supposed to happen. turns out there was a VALVE loose or broken on the right wing that they needed to fix...seems a little late for that but then again earlier enough that we're all around to complain about it. it ended up taking 2 hours (as we sat on the plane) which demolished our 2 hour layover in london to catch our connector to dublin so that just set us back in general. we ended up sleeping in the london airport on and off for about 4 extra hours and drowsily made it to dublin.
we had big plans for dublin...but none of it came true due too exhaustion and the many delays. the hostel was nice though and the town of dublin was great so we'll have to explore before we go back to the states. today we made our way to london and tomorrow we're going to bath, england to see my friend EMILY! (she's a friend from study abroad in ecuador so im super pumped to see her!) we also might get to see stonehenge which would be sweet - just adding to my wonders of the world list. well we're off to dinner in london.
