Kells? Do tell.
You guys have seen so many amazing things on this trip, but the Book of Kells has to be near the top of the list! I would love to hear a detailed description of it.

Sounds like you are getting a good dose of true Irish weather!! The pub crawl looks like fun! By now, hopefully, Mom and John have joined you and you all are having loads of fun!! Wish I was there!!!

Former Pilgrims
You forget your niece Pam, and your niece-in-law Pam, who were also former pilgrims to Galway. :o) I see that you have a photo of the pub we spent some time at while we there!! That was our last stopping point before we headed back to Ennis and home to the US the next day. I think it is so cool that you found a D''Arcy round-a-bout, and went round-a-bout it 3 times! We just had a round-a-bout built in our little town of Abita Springs and it reminds me of Ireland every time I go round-a-bout it. I sure wish I could be with you while driving along those Irish county roads!! Did you feel like you were home when you arrived in Ireland?? I loved Aunt Gloryo's comment about Aunt Jackie at the Cliffs of Mohr!!! LOL! I think it is so cool that you can just drive around and change your plans and stop where you want and spend the night. What an adventure!! I'm glad we can share in your adventure with you!!! HAVE FUN!!

galway
I'm Jealous i wish i was there right now. That is one of the coolest cities i have ever been.

Did Mom tell you that she and I visited York a few years ago! I really loved it and enjoyed high tea at one of the tea rooms. We attended the evensong service at York Minster. It was one of the highlights of our quick trip to England. BTW, I am a little behind reading your blogs but I am really enjoying them!! You two are really on the trip of a life time!!

The Scots
I knew that you and Jackie would love Scotland! Can't you just see Ricky standing on a corner in his kilts, playing his pipes? Don't buy your scotch there, wait til you get on the plane coming home - cheaper! But, as a scotch lover as I am, go by one of the Scotch houses and have a sip.... it's fun! Hope that John and I see you in Dublin next week!

Car and stuff
The car you described as an Austin Healey is in fact a 1951 MG TD sports bought in Baton Rouge in 1987! Brantley will get a laugh anyway! We guessed that you would zoom up to York to save time. Hope the weather stays OK. Pete

We are enjoying all the updates!
You folks must be exhausted. We miss you both and have toasted to you all probably a few too many times........... I have been forwarded your blogs on to Hank as well. Cheers, Rich and Andrea

ok, now I think i'm logged in
Somehow you need to make sure my comments were saved. When I looked at all your other comments mine weren't there. Have fun and I'll remember to log in next time. Love, JJ

Fruits of glory
Now you know that I am just in a panic looking at all those wonderful fruits etc that we DON'T get in Jamaica. Cheers guys!

Great Photos again!
It's so much fun looking at these pictures. Beautiful flowers. I can taste the wine.

Leaning Tower!
Loved the pix of you holding up the tower, Tommy... Patty and I have one as well. The stairs were worn in 1974, I recall and the stink was bad too, but, heck we made it to the top! The trip you guys made to the alps in Italy sound incredible and pix were great too. Don't drink all that vino, bring some back. Let us know when you reach your friends home in UK. Give us the schedule so we can pick a date to try to meet for a few days. Jackie, you are looking GOOD!!! luv, dianne
