green green and more green

We are on our final leg of the trip in beautiful ireland... it has exceeded both our expectations and has turned out to be one of our favorite places. We did a day tour yesterday that took us to a bunch of cliffs and wonderful views. pretty much a national park kinda thing. We have experienced true irish culture at a couple pubs. they do party hard. very hard.  today we are doing another tour and going to the guinness factory ..... the queen has been here the last couple days and has been putting the city on hold - everyone wants to see her and a whole bunch of the main streets have been closed, making it hard for us to do the shopping we have wanted to do for weeks.  we feel we are part of irish history as this is the first time royalty has come to ireland.. seems weird she has been to canada a bunch of times but not ireland which is sooo close to where she lives.

We cant upload pictures but we took a ton. This may be our last post from the European continent and we are sad about this -- we dont want to leave Ireland but are happy to come home to everyone and get into a routine again.

They have a 24/7 misty rain that happens here but we have learnt to appreciate it.. kinda suits dublin.
anyways, talk soon!!
