On Tuesday we landed in Ireland after a 6 and a half hour flight. we were picked up at the airport and chauffeured to our guesthouse, where we are staying with the nicest irish family ever! and, we know them! Nicole and the Egans have been just super at putting us up and showing us around. We have spent a couple days touring around and have learned a few things:
1. The Irish have a reputation for drinking... This is not an embellishment or an exaggeration. You can't walk more than a few steps without coming across a pub.
2. Ireland is incredibly green! Everything is so lush here, probably because...
3. It rains all the time. The 4 seasons can be experienced here in about 15 minutes... cold hot, rain, sun, wind, calm, everything. its wild!
4. Mom and Dad you were right about the roads... they are narrow, the speed limits are high and a lot of the time there are brick walls on both sides of the road. (there are brick walls everywhere! who had the time and the rocks needed to create all of these walls?) and when an 18 wheeler is coming at you you feel like you are about to die.
Lisa is having fun too.
Today we both had electric showers. Think about that one.
So to sum things up, we got to Ireland okay, had a nice flight, and are having a blast in Dublin and the surrounding areas!
Cheers,
Simon
