June 10 – day 60
I have just had my American credit card declined for the 5th time in 2 months. I have two credit cards that I am using and I must say that I am fortunate because they take turns in not working. I have contacted the fraud departments of both cards numerous times and each time I finally get them working again, but it is rather embarrassing to be paying for groceries and have your card declined! I have now been told by one credit card company that I must phone them every 30 days because they can only put the international waiver on for 30 days. Absolutely crazy! The alternative is to get a European credit card, but they charge annual fees of about $75 and have no points or cash back or anything.
On the positive side, it is an absolutely beautiful weekend in Dublin! It is 20 degrees (68 degrees farenheit) as I am typing this. I know this does not sound too warm, but it is cosidered sun bathing weather for Ireland. I’m headed out shortly to return some library books and to go for a walk along the River Liffey. It is wonderful to walk for 5 minutes and see the water! Colorado is a wonderful place to live, but it does not have much water. I have to enjoy it while I am here!

I don't know why your post reminded me of this, but you are skipping right through your time there! Wow. Also, that's crazy about your credit cards, that you can't just tell them you'll be in Ireland until a certain date! jen
