Ireland revisited

   Mary and I are off to visit her relatives in Ireland for two weeks. We have a traveling companion, Mary's cousin Mary O'Neill from nearby in the Philadelphia burbs. Mary O. was also a mate of mine in grammar school so we know one another from way back.

   Toby was happy he gets to stay over with Gayle and Aunt Becky, so he shouldn't miss us too much. Our flight was easy and smooth, leaving Philly at 9 pm after most of the other international flights had already left. We arrived in Dublin a bit after 8 am to a crowded arrival hall and hopped a bus for a 3 hour ride to Letterkenny in County Donegal. We picked up our rental car there and were off to the town of Downings on the north coast. We're spending 8 nights at a lovely B&B (Bradley's) a great spot to take day trips from.

   Internet is spotty in this part of the world so I'll do the best I can with keeping up my blog. Love to all back home while were gone.
