I got to touch the sea today. A little sand too. Vancouver during a run. 4/22/07.

Seattle has got some wicked steep streets. Not the least bit friendly to runners.

Okay, so honestly, it's embedded in my DNA. I can't help it. Watching this girl do traditional Irish Dancing SERIOUSLY just brought joy to my heart. Espcially considering it was St. Patrick's Day. She probably thought I was a weirdo when I went over and showed her the video on my camera. But what I couldn't properly communicate to her (maybe because of the four Guinness in my belly at the time) was that seeing her dancing was the highlight of the night for me. Danielle was her name I think. I don't think she realizes what a talent she has. AND a brilliant smile I might add. Sorry for the dark grainy quality of the video; it's from my camera (which is smaller than my cell phone!). Ahh... Ireland.
