Ireland updates....

Yes, I am here. Ireland is beautiful and everything that I thought it would be. Just love it!
The first couple of days of being here took a little to get acclimated. The jet lag took over our day on Sunday. Once checked into the hotel we were able to catch a nap before heading out to the pubs for dinner. Driving on the left side of the road was difficult at first, now it seems almost normal. Emily is the "official" driver.... Thank GOD! :)

We have been smiling and laughing non-stop. I am really starting to feel as though I am not on a vacation. It's a hard feeling to describe... it just feels so natural to be here. Everyone is so friendly and fun to be around. We are truly having a "brillant" time! (I am stealing Emily's cousin, Padriag's quote.)

We have been in Galway City until this morning. Yesterday we took a day trip through the Connamara Hills and Crouagh Patrick (I'm sure the spelling is wrong but I'm too lazy to get up and check it.) Today we took the ferry from Doolin to Innisfree (Aran Islands). On the way back to the mainland we were given a tour in front of the Moher Cliffs. Tomorrow we will walk the cliffs and go to some little towns along the way.


Internet access for us has been tough and honestly I have not been going out of my way to find it. And actually I probably won't do anymore posts while I'm away. It's too hard. I didn't bring my lap top and although Emily gives me full use of hers (I am a fish out of water on this thing... you know because I am a cool Mac user.) It's too confusing trying to upload my photos on her computer... yada,yada, yada. BUT she is blogging the trip with photos. So I suggest you divert yourself to her blog if you are interested in our details.

I will post my photos and blog our travels much more extensively when I return home (April 7).
So until then... read Emily's! :)
