Blue Skies
There was nothing but blue skies and fine weather this past month for our journey around Ireland. The one or two afternoons of misty rain were almost like special effects put on for our benefit when visiting some of the ancient sites and monuments and only enhanced the experience. We took the time to take in some of the local flavour and colour whenever we could and met some interesting characters as well as visiting the major tourist attractions.
It’s a busy time of the year around here in the bog and although I’ve settled back in after the experience my blogging will be somewhat sporatic in the next while but I will be posting soon about some of the places and the people we met along the way. It was a delight to play host to my American visitors and to catch up with all that has happened over the years with them. If they had half as good a time as I did they will be very happy indeed with their holiday here.
To Mona, Jody, and Cheryl who were such good travelling companions, conversationalists, and drinking partners, "Slainte!"
