You know you're in Ireland when...




We've continued to have rain, which is to be expected in Ireland, but it hasn't caused us to slow down. Yesterday, we went to Slieve League, the highest seaside cliffs in Europe. They truly were spectacular even in the dampness. We reallly were in the clouds. Getting to them was a journey all its own, if you know anything about our fear of high places. The roads went right up to the edge of the cliff, and if you met another car, someone had to back out of the way, because most areas were not wide enough for two cars. This was good practice for my climbing before we get to Skellig Michael, in Kerry. I was able to climb to the top without any pain out of my knee, I was just alot slower than Mike.


Today, we are taking it easy, reading, writing and yes, more crocheting. I'll be able to wrap the church in yarn! Our dinner is here, better eat!

He has been checking email, although we are now in a very limited place. It will be a little harder until library opens on Tuesday.

Looks great there, even if it a bit wet. Life is as busy as ever over here. Have you checked out the news footage from the day of caring? WISH-tv and WRTV were there.The clips are on their websites.
