Ireland

Our first destination, Ireland has proven to be every bit as beautiful as the Irish would have you believe. Gorgeous green hills, a stunning coastline, and as many castles as Portland has coffee shops. We touched down in Dublin on Wednesday, and have been making our way around the country. My father joined us (and, in fact, suggested Ireland) for the week, and held up well to the steady pace of our itinerary. We´ve been to a brew pub with Irish music every night of the week. If the cost of anything in this country was reasonable, we could linger for a while... These photos are from the Rock of Cashel, Lakes of Killarney, Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher and Trim Castle.

Hey guys! Good to see that your adventure has actually started. Pete said that Ellen's jaw was still hurting as you left PDX. Can we have an update? It would be good to hear that she feels fine and that no further dentistry will need to be performed.

Thanks for asking about Ellen´s jaw, Gary! Yes, she´s just finished her antibiotics today and is feeling much better. Hopefully no further undesirable procedures will be necessary - fingers crossed...
