Heading home

We are headed to the airport and the all day flying fest ahead of us. 

I asked everyone what their favorite part was, well we actually talked about it last night too. It was almost impossible to pick. When forced Sierra said Blarney and her favorite food was her sandwich at the cupen tea. Dani liked the leprechaun museum and the story telling best and the dingle sea salt ice cream. Hannah liked our Dingle day and she liked all the food. My favorite was also Blarney and my favorite food was a blue cheese and carmalized onion burger we ate one night in a pub. The food here is really good, I think it's because it's real food, 

Everyone we met or talked to was super friendly. We had one negative encounter with a drunk man in Galway but other than that I have felt safe and we've enjoyed everyone we met from Joe the sheepdog man, and Joe the singing tour bus driver, and Cailen the story teller, and Aron the waiter, Sister Faloon the relief society teacher and Karen the barn guide and every other friendly person we talked to.

The countryside is beyond words lovely.

Driving was a challenge but it got easier as the week went on. Dublin traffic is like any big city (except NYC which is the worst)

The exchange rate was not in our favor but the Irish wage is lower so things didn't feel too expensive. 

Limerick was the least clean city we visited, Dingle the darling(est).

We bought a box or 3 of Jammie Wheels every day. The tastiest "biscuits" ever. 

When driving in roundabouts we liked to count out loud "one", "two", "tree". The Irish accent is so pleasant and impossible for us to not try to mimic. 

The magpie is my new favorite non-predatory bird.

I am pretty sure I saw a leprechaun on the grounds at Blarney, and Dani & Sierra stayed in a haunted room at the castle...maybe there is magic afoot here at the Emerald Isle. If not it was definitely  magical for us.

So thanks for having us it was the best!
