Tour of Churches
There are quite a few Catholic Churches within walking distance of my apartment. I've decided to go to a different church each week in an attempt to find one I like and perhaps rediscover my faith in the process. Here's this week's church.

St.Elizabeth's Hungarian Catholic Church
The walk: A little over three avenues
The church: old with lots of burning prayer candles
The crowd: It was me and a scattering of elderly women
The priest: old and balding in a kindly, endearing way
The music: somewhat operatic with low participation. I'm pretty sure the priest was just mouthing the words
The homily: long-winded and rambling
Communion: I think they used whiskey instead of wine. Whatever it was, it had quite a kick
Rating: Not really feeling it

Sometimes I forget I'm not in Dublin
- Walking down the street I sometimes give way to the left instead of the right.
- It took me a week to stop listening for the video game beeping at walk lights.
- Burberry, Burberry every where. My first night here I saw a man at a bar wearing a button-down Burberry shirt. I also saw a woman wearing a very unfortunate Burberry blazer. But mostly it's been lots and lots of Burberry purses.
- On my walk home from church today, I passed a man with a thick brogue who was standing on his stoop and talking his cell phone.
