Dublin and a wee bit O Guiness!

---

We are here in Dublin! We arrived last night via Frankfurt, Germany (that might be next on our list... 😊 )

Had dinner in the basement of an Irish pub. We had Beef Boxty for dinner and some Bread Pudding for dessert! Saw dancing in the cobblestone streets and listened to a traditional Irish band into the night!

We toured Dublin on the Hop on Hop off bus and went to the Guiness factory for lunch and a wee bit of beer.... Brandon, you could have beer here too (in 7 more days....)

My laptop had a booboo and the screen got smashed somehow so I can't upload any pictures until I get a USB cable for the camera...then I will post some quick pictures to look at! Tomorrow we are off to Northern Ireland in our rented car. We will spend 2 days in County Fermanaugh and the town of Enniskillen where Dad is from....Unitl then.... P and R......

Beer for everyone!

The Grounds of Castle Coole, N Ireland
This is on the grounds of Castle Coole, close to where my dad lived as a child in Northern Ireland. He and his sister used to walk thru the grounds to go to school everyday.

A Wee bit of Guinness
Hey guys, nice to be able to communicate this way. Have never been to any part of the British Isles except London, so please enjoy for us and we will live vicariously through you. Hope you enjoy your travels to Northern Ireland. We are watching Hope today so that Ry and Jen can have a date. They are hoping to move in the next few weeks to Qualicum Beach so that is even closer than Nanaimo. Sending a wee bit of love, Randi and Bill

The internet is kind of touch and go here. The weather has been quite good up until today. A few days ago was abou 21degrees and beautiful, today was rainy and quite cool. The food is great and I think this is one of the cleanest countries I have ever been too! For the most part it is full of modest, humble homes that are very well kept! Driving on the left has been fun too! Talk to you soon! Paul and Rhonda
