All beautiful places that we’ve briefly experienced in the last week.  I feel like I could’ve easily spent a week in each of these places, experiencing the local culture and the amazing natural beauty all around.  The hightlight for me so far was staying at a hotel resort in Ireland called the Galgorm (www.galgorm.com)  An incredibly beautiful grounds built to modern perfection.  Randomly, we arrived in Belfast on the day of the worst rains the area has ever seen and there was crazy flooding all over Belfast and the North of Ireland.  So, the quaint little river right beside the resort was now a rushing river that would intimidate the most experienced of white water rafters.  It was possibly the greenest land I’ve ever seen, and after that much rain, I like to think that no one has ever seen it that green…But who knows.  Anyways, just a little tidbit from what’s been an amazing time out here in Europe.  The shows have been amazing, uplifting, and humbling.  It turns out there’s people that know our songs out here.  It’s pretty amazing.  2 more gigs to go.  Then it’s home sweet home. - Jon.

Hello all - just a quick note.  Had a wonderful time in Sweden yesterday at Frizon festival, and we’re now en route to Switzerland.  The next two weeks have an incredible amount of travel, but each day we arrive in a spectacular city and it’s worth the sleepiness.In the midst of all this travel, we’ve still got a lot of work to do for the Canada tour next month and for the US tour that we’re currently scheduling.  On three different occasions yesterday I was video chatting with our manager back in Nashville - the world feels very small when you can do that so easily and cheaply.  We’ve been reading your comments about what cities to visit and I think a lot of you are going to be happy. More news to come as wireless permits.Tim
