Driving, eating, and drinking our way through Ireland

We made it to Ireland and back with our marriage intact, and no major disasters to report.

Driving — I managed to return our little hybrid Toyota Yaris in the same perfect condition as when we started in spite of a very rough beginning on the first roundabout. I blame Siri for his confusing directions, but it was really all my fault. 

Cousin Tony convinced us to turn the car in 2 days early at a different agency in Dublin so I wouldn't have to drive it back to the airport. Thank you Tony! What a relief to have no car for the last 2 days!

Eating and Drinking — We did plenty of both, all within walking distance of the 3 hotel/guest rooms. For our first night's dinner we shared some fantastic mussels from John Keogh's Gastropub in Galway. Of course we washed it all down with a pint or 2.

Many pubs were visited, many pints were drunk, many great meals, including the famed Irish breakfasts, were eaten. Further details and photos to follow once we get settled in. We've been home since Sunday, and 4 days hasn't been enough to get settled in.

Thanks to Claire for the intermediate blog post. And thanks to Greg, Claire and Lorenzo, and Brian and Eve for holding the whole farm together while we were gone!
