Back from the Emerald Isle

I am back from vacation - or holiday as they say - from Ireland. No computer, no email - it was just grand. Or lovely as the Irish like to say. I went with my two sisters and my mom and wished it didn't have to end. It's amazing how a glass of Guinness helps melt any outrage one might be feeling. Though they say Guinness just doesn't taste the same over here as it does there. Would seriously consider moving to Ireland - I liked the pace of things and could use a change of scenery. But will wait for the outcome of the November elections. Will know then if there's any hope left for this country.

Snapped this photo on our first day in Howth. Was thinking this could be me someday.
