Where does all this blogging time come from? Quick bits here or there while Clinton is busy with something else.
So when we went to Foleys yesterday, it was really bizarre to see a Japanese face owned by a lass speaking English with an Irish accent. Put that down under the category of "Things We Were Not Expecting." And we weren't the only ones. We met a couple from Boston who has been here 25-35 times (as they estimate), and it wigged them out, too. ("Are we walking into a Chinese restaurant or something?")
Over dinner we met a really fun, fairly drunk Irishman. Of course, I hit him up for things to do and places to see. He recommended Slane Castle - already on my to visit list because it's where U2 recorded The Unforgettable Fire. It's one of his favorite albums, too. Also: Galway, Cork, and other places I either can't remember or locate on my map.
Today we purchased a GPS - something Clinton had thought about buying before our trip. It was cheaper than getting European maps added to my TomTom or iPhone. All the Irish one way streets and pedestrian walks and canals make local driving a small nightmare.
Clinton is looking at his watch. You know what that means. So long!
