Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well.

We are having a farntastic (Irish) time. We have walked all over Dublin reminiscing and checking out all our old haunts. The place really hasn’t changed that much but because of the Queen’s visit, Barack Obama’s visit and the UEFA world cup final they have spruced the place up and the litter has been collected so the place looks neat and tidy. All the VIPs must have known we were coming and wanted to upstage us. The city has been locked down with lots of Garda (Irish Police) because of the Queen’s visit but so far the bomb scares have been hoaxes and we have avoided the demonstrations.
We have met up with Paul and Elaine (the wedding couple) and stayed the night at their place and we have met Elaine’s parents who are lovely.
We walked Howth headland on Tuesday and completed the longest, hardest walk titled the Bog of the Frogs. Danny declared himself King of the Bog of the Frogs as we were the only ones on the walk.
The weather has been difficult with showers, clouds and minimums of 6 and highs of 15. We were hoping for a warm and sunny spring – why we had such outrageous expectations is unclear given that after 2 years here we should have known better.
Tomorrow we are meeting up with Michelle the student I worked with and we pick up the car on Friday for some driving adventures.
