Gas/Petrol

I filled up a small car with a tank of gas today and it cost 70eu. That's over $100. For a small, 2-door, manual car that gets 40mpg.
I don't know if I can ever in good conscience complain about gas prices in the US ever again.
We're planning on coming home at the end of August. We'll be in Vancouver from the 25 Aug to the 29. We'll be in Williams from the 29 Aug to 1 Sept, and then in L.A. through the 10 or 11 of Sept. Then we fly off to St. Louis, then Boston.
Hope to see many of you while we're home!

I've been busy pluggin away at research for the dissertation. It's based on this document:
http://www.anevangelicalmanifesto.com and is looking at the ecumenical ramifications of the document.
Should be interesting.
And we've been dog-sitting Maggie May, a lovely puppy in Killiney belonging to our dear friend Christine while she's in sunny SoCal. We just swapped homes for a bit :)
Weather's been lovely, people are fantastic, and we're still waiting to hear on funding for school and work visas.
Hugs and love to you all!
