The last few weeks has been really exciting. Our friends Emily and Joe and their son Oisín came to visit us a few weeks ago. We managed to make our way up to Belfast, which was tremendously interesting. Truely a different world. We went on a tour of the city where we were able to see the huge blast walls sourounding the court house, the Unionist and Republican murals and the multistory police stations housed almost entirely underground.
My Mother and Grandmother came from the states to visit as well following by a few days. We managed to make our way up to New Grange which was pretty fantastic. We also went on the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl, which I fully recommend to anyone comming to Dublin. My Grandmother even won a T-shirt for getting the most quiz answers correct!
