Thanks. I really appreciate that. I've written for some online publications and have two more newspaper features going to print this summer in Austin and San Antonio. I have a day job as an editor, so I'm not always ambitous about submitting, but I'm trying to make a more concerted effort. Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments on my blogs, Hal. The Balkans really are a fascinating place with an incredible history. You should get out here soon.

Thanks for the blog comment. I'm new to the site, but I look forward to checking out other travelers' blogs and photos. It looks like you've been to some amazing places. Happy travels.

Hey,
Thanks for the comment. I was just about to ask about exactly which blog Ross was referring to, since there's only empty space in your matador travel blog, but then I found your blogspot- looks like you've got a lot of good stuff in there and I'll have to go back to it when I have more time.
I finally got out of Dublin (thank goodness) and now in Cork, but now I'm thinking about doing some cycling up the west. Have you any experience or advice about cycling in Ireland?
