Clea and I now know almost every square inch of Doolin, Co. Clare, Ireland. There are some more photos online.

Doolin:
Tin Whistle and Bodhran.
Traditional Irish music in every pub every night.
Castle and Church ruins.
Old Scottish and Irish men (we know have pen pals).
No work, all play!
I finished reading Ivanhoe...
Beer and chess.
Cliff trek.
We met some Seattlites, Alaskans and Germans at Rainbow Hostel.

We then used 'couchsurfing.com' for the first time and stayed with a girl in Limerick on the university campus. Let me just say that was an awesome first experience. She was really cool...and could cook very well! Today we caught the airplane to London and were picked up by my Grandmothers' cousins' husband, Jack. Complicated huh? I am at Yvonne's house (Gma's cousin) using the computer and later tonight we go to her sister Nita's to stay. Jack went to visit my grandma in '66 on the way back from the Bahamas and just busted out the photos of my Mom, aunt Rose, Grandma and Grandpa Norman. When he emails them to me I will post them on my photo album. I am so excited to be here! Ireland was great, but now I am excited to see some more of Europe.
I hope all is will on the flip side.
