It's been such a fun, relaxing week in Ireland. Wednesday morning we drove up to Dublin to take the Crowleys to the airport. They're in England now for a few days visiting some friends and hopefully having a wonderful time. On the way back from Dublin we drove down to Wexford and walked around and had lunch - pretty little town with a nice harbor. Yesterday we went to the Rock of Cashel, which is a medieval fortress-turned-cathedral and then tried to go to the Swiss Cottage which is a pretty hunting cottage from the early 1800s made to look like a Swiss chalet. It was closed for the season and under construction but we managed to climb over the fence and through the woods to see it :) Didn't get any good pictures, unfortunately; couldn't risk the noise and the flash so close to the construction workers. Today we tried to go to the monastery at Kells (birthplace of the Book of Kells) but that was also closed. Still it's always nice driving through the countryside.
Random fun Ireland trivia:
On the west coast of Ireland they refer to Boston as "the next parish over." Isn't that cute?
Right now in Ireland they have a funny (if oddly intense) anti-littering radio campaign that we love. It goes something like this: "Littering is disgusting and so are those who do it. If you act like filth, you'll be treated like filth." We get a kick out of that every time.
