I had one egg and two ham and tomato. They were just quarters of sandwiches.No, his name wasn't Father Holyguy; I just couldn't remember his real name!

There was a Starbucks in Dublin, but not at street level. We didn't go it.As for potatoes, we've had them fried, french fried, scalloped, baked, au gratin and mashed. Probably some other way too that I've forgotten. People say American serv
ings are large, they should see the Irish servings! Huge individual plates, and then family style dishes of vegetables and potatoes, potatoes, potatoes!

Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes...sounds like my kind of tour. And I like Fr. Holyguy...

We're thoroughly enjoying your newsy notes and look forward to one arriving each afternoon. Marianne called this afternoon from their cruise ship, which was about to leave Ketchican and head to Juneau. Isn't it something that you both can
communicate instantly with friends and family left behind as you toodle around the world? Amazing! And Hello to Mary!

I suppose you had egg mayonnaise for lunch.....again! Do they serve good potato dishes with your main meal? Have you seen an Irish Starbucks yet? I wondered if you remembered Fr. Lavelle from Fatima!

Ok, so the minute you said you were shopping, I instantly thought of a Kinder Egg and am so glad you bought one. I would have bought several, but at least the need to buy one lives on in you! :o)

Darn, too bad you didn't have a poltergeist but at least you were able to get an explanation for the banging! Cute photo of you back in Dingle with the lighthouse in the background. Nice that you got to sleep in a little on that rainy, wi
ndy day that was your day off on the tour. I would have gone back and taken a nap later!! Hope you are able to get out to Inishmoor the next day (or is that just canceled altogether?) Stay dry and warm and don't get blown out to sea!!

From Blog: At least I didn't blow over.

honey, you eat as much egg as you want!! But maybe not right before a long bus ride on windy, curvey Irish roads...sheesh, I'm thinking I'm not ever going to be able to do a bus tour through Ireland. Hope the winds die down so your doors
aren't banging all night!

OOOOOOH. I'm intrigued that you might have a poltergeist! Although getting awakened in the wee hours of the morning isn't too fun, especially when you didn't have to be awake that early!! I'm awaiting the report if it happens again... Sa
lmon of Knowledge! Well salmon are hearty critters (can fish be "critters"?)!

yea for hot water AND water pressure combined! Yes, you are right--the motion is worse at the back of the bus. Maybe you can get someone to relinquish a front seat if you tell them you'll throw up sitting in back...Glad you got a bit of s
unshine!

Teresa - John shared your blog with us. You write so well, I''m thinking you should change your line of work. Ireland is one of my bucket list trips, so it is fun to read about your experience. Thanks for sharing, even though it was with
out your knowledge.

WOW. Now that's a nice sized bed. Usually they are sooooo small.

The Powerscourt Gardens DO resemble the Boboli Gardens. (Especially since the day I was at the Boboli Gardens, it was also overcast and rainy!) Stay dry. (I should have loaned you my neato rain hat for your trip. I'm not needing it at t
he moment...) Hope you had a good night's sleep in your big bed!

Fun! Love getting such a fascinating history lesson. Hope your next abode is spider-free! (That statue of Oscar Wilde looks so real at first glance! Crazy!) What a strange selection of food at that place--like the food court at the mal
l!
