Now to Ireland...

Well, today was interesting. After a beautifully sunny, calm day yesterday for our gorgeous drive through Wales, we woke this morning to stormy skies, rain and high winds. We were worried that the ferry to Ireland would be canceled because of the weather. It wasn't.

It was a very rough crossing and took over an hour longer than it should have done. Thank goodness for Travacalm (the ones with drugs, not the ginger ones!). We were fine, some were not...

Tonight we celebrated our first night in Dublin with Guinness (for Peter; wine for me) and Irish stew at a cute little pub not far from our hotel.

We've been practicing our Italian, which is getting us a few laughs. Everyone is so friendly, except perhaps the lady in the supermarket who was not happy when our card wouldn't work, lol. I don't know how many gondolas there are in Venice, but we seem to be surrounded by them wherever we go.
