Looks wonderful! Hi Ems - The island looks like paradise. Bonaire seems to be a hidden gem - not too many people I mentioned it to knew where it was. Sounds like you're having a super time - Romy and Joost sound like the perfect hosts! Enjoy to the max - reality hits Sunday!

Bofin I will be back on Bofin in a few weeks. San Francisco to Eire. One of lifes great journey's. Bofin is god's country.
My Grandmother was born and raised on the isle
Lido!!! Ah Emilie! You brought a tear to my eye with your last picture. This was my favourite thing to do on my own every Saturday morning for two years!!
Wow, real pangs of sadness... and of missing it all. Another reassurance that a planned holiday there next year is a must!
Oh, and I LOVE the Saltlik! :))
Wow - beautiful photos Hi Emilie
As always I enjoy your stories and the photos are unbelievable!! Believe it or not but here in Canmore we had beautiful weather on Sat and Sun of the long weekend but it's now Monday and we're experiencing flurries - YUCK!!
Anyway take care and enjoy all of the green scenery!

Like that restaurant.... in Kinvarra. You maybe know, or not, that my maiden name is McKeogh?? Same spelling and all, since most have a "U" - though my father's family is more from Cork, but still a fun coincidence.
My dad saw Ireland once, a similar trip to yours, and he saw it while still on the ball - the ponies of Connamarra impressed him - and the miles of rock fences! Testmony to generations of patient hard work - safe travels xoxox V
Ahhh Emilie this brought back fond memories for me! I visited Limerick last year, went to the Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Castle etc. It was so lovely! I am glad you are loving it so much :)) I love Ireland!
Fabulous pics Em (as always!). My friend, Deb, also commented on the road conditions when she visited Ireland. Highway that turn into roads where the bushes are scratching your vehicle. She too found that it took a long time to go a relatively short distance, but loved the countryside. See you when you get back
Woohoo! Looks like it was a good first day and night! I haven`t seen Daddy in a beret in ages..what made him pull it out?! haha I WISH i had come with you guys, but alas, I seem to enjoy torturing myself by declining offers to go on trips, and stay in boring Montreal instead! Whats wrong with me?! haha.
Cant wait to read more!! Love you both, beret and all! ;)

Now I'm hungry Wow I want sausage and cheese for dinner now - as always a joy to read - you're so very descriptive in your entries and it's like being there. I'm glad you found your friend - sounds like an amazing time!
Take care oh and it's May 1 today and yesterday when I drove from Calgary to Canmore - I was in the middle of a major snow storm - YUCK!! But the sun is finally shining today! take care,
Kelly
Awesome pics...makes me look forward to my trip home even more! ;-) Three more weeks before I go!
Too bad I didn't know ahead of time you were heading there - could have suggested some popular night clubs like Lucerna Music Bar (live concerts quite often) or Karlovy Lazne (3 - or perhaps 4, don't recall exactly - storey night club with different music on each floor - this one is right next to the Charles Bridge....)
Did you have a chance to try some of the local food? Nothing is as flavorful as ie japanese, but still some meals are worth to try ;-)))
Nice photos! Hi Emilie:
I loved the photos - looks so beautiful - thanks so much for sending this to me - I really appreciate it!
Take care and please contact me when you're back!

safe travels my friend I am continually inspired and in awe of your zest for adventure and travel- I am so contented to travel into my front yard and enjoy a firepit fire and chatting with my neighbors. My adventure is walking down 17th Ave to work - and let me tell you it is exactly that most days. So soak it up my dear and travel safe. remember there is a chair in my front yard waitng for you for with a nice hot bevvy and a fire.
Hi Em,
wonderful story as always ;-) Now Normandy brings memories..visited Rouen and surroundings couple of times with school - did not make it to Honfleur but had a good time at Etretat and Fecamp - similar towns.... Too bad you did not make it to Mont St.Michel - it's spectacular - perhaps next trip? ;-)))
It will be great to have to back in the cow-town - Pat and I are in Prague when you come but we are back on the 30th of May - let's meet as soon as we get over the jetlag! :-)
Barth'a lona Hi Em
Isn't Barcelona great!! One of my favorite cities. Too bad you didn't get to see the fountain in action. It actually quite impressive. I didn't see any Sangria in your photos. I hope you sampled at least a glass. I recall it was very very good.
It is still snowing in Calgary. Should be green by July :)
Safe Journey
Karl
