This is a picture of all of the PCUSA Volunteers in Belfast with me. From left to right it is: Me, Maureen (standing), Jessica (kneeling), Bethany (standing), Sarah, and Melissa. Maureen, Jessica, and Melissa all live in the house with me and Bethany and Sarah live on the other side of town. This picture was taken at the Ulster Folk Museum. Its this Historical Village where they have taken historical buildings from their original locations and rebuilt them in one place for Folks to go see. This was the photography studio so we are doing our best non-smiling victorian picture. Note the amazing way I am holding my hat and the overpowering angle of Sarah's neck!
These are two of the neighborhood boys. Chris is climbing on my back and Daniel is the upside-down one. They are good kids mostly, except for the part where daniel kicked me right after This picture was taken. They are way excited that there is a boy in the house this year because last year was all girls who didn't enjoy being kicked apparently.
Trip to Dublin. Guiness Factory. Hand motions say it all.
Do you think i could ever possibly be as rakish as Oscar Wilde?
The River Liffey at night.
Also at night in an alley.
Well there you go friends. I know it looks like all fun and games but the truth is I only take pictures when things are fun so that's why things seem that way. Know that I am well and think of you all often.

Hi Alex,
Praying for you. Love the pics. I think the two boys hanging all over you says it all. Although I must say the Oscar Wilde pic is inspiring.
Glad to hear all is well. Take care and be well.

Hey Alex,
Looks like your really making a difference in Belfast. I enjoyed a previous sentence of yours "i only take pictues when im happy"; that so true. Sorry the door frames are too short! Hahaha. We all miss you here back in Long Beach. Hope your enjoying yourself and learning and helping.

Nice pix - I think that the Victorian photo is really "you" - you do have the beard for it - although the Oscar Wilde also deserves Honorable Mention. I hope you have healed from the kicking boy. That's good training for being a parent, assuming you chose that option sometime.
I say post more often - we all enjoy hearing from you - and let us know how you are doing.

Hey Alex,
Looks like you're doing some really great stuff over there. If the kids kick you, I say kick em' right back. Works with my cousins. We miss you over here. I think of you often.
Stay well,
Cameron
PS- Did you by any chance take a bass with you? It'd be real interesting to know what the music scene is like there too. The kids would probably love hearing you jam too. Just a thought.
