So much took place over these past five days with the rents that there is no possible way that I can blog about everything. It actually kinda works out well because I am not so good with details (aka names of places), so I will leave some of those out. Anywho, mom will be much better with filling you in on the actual names and histories of the lands we ventured to. Needless to say, there were lots of them.
It began on a rainy Thursday in Galway and ended on a rainy Monday in Shannon airport. In between there was a stretch of the left side of the road leading us to rugged cliffs, mystic castles, colorful villages, tropical islands, hidden lakes, mellow pubs, ancient rock circles, thatched-roof houses (shout out to Karver and Scott Roberts -- burnanating the peasants...), and stunning coastlines.
Dad did a really good job braving the other side of the car, the other side of the road, round-a-bouts, unmarked streets, verrrrrry skinny streets, us not knowing where we were going, blind curves, rain, and even floods. There was only one tiny not so poetic incident at the home of WB Yates.
Mom did a really good job of figuring out what we should do and see. We saw some incredible stuff that I would not have been able to visit on my own (the buses don't really make it to the remote places where we traveled).
Ok, I will update you more on the specifics later. Ask mom or dad in the mean time. Just know for now, that is was really fun and great to see my momma and daddy. I must be off to class.
ps -- I will try to put up a link to a photo album once I get all of it sorted.

Yeah! So glad to see evidence of the trip! Does Dad look of a different race in that first pic or what?!
yes he does....let's just say one of us blended in with the locals better than the other.
the trip was a total blast! it made me remember fondly a trip through the scottish highlands with em several years ago...many similar scenes and laughs!
JB and I see a Sisters/golfers weekend in the not-too-distant future...
