Ireland

Little jet-setters that we are, Sarah and I took off for Ireland for the weekend.  We stayed with Dawn, Lee, Kristin, Konrad and Jamie which was so nice-- like home away from home for me.  It was sunny all three days that we were there (strange for Ireland.  Strange, as well, that the weather in Ireland was nicer than it's been in Barcelona recently).  We went into Dublin on Saturday.  We had some delicious Lebanese food and then went to a couple pubs.  It was a really fun weekend!  Here are some selected pictures (I didn't take many...).


In the airport, we had a camper-sport.

And then we had a trooper looking for signs of humanity in the empty terminal.














We were the only ones in the airport for the longest time.  Then we realized that we had to check in in that area and walk through the airport to our gate. 

Once we found our gate, we went to the bathroom where I discovered this:

They don't have these in American bathrooms.


Our flight was really easy.  We were boarded in 15 minutes and we left 5 minutes early!  Our flight arrived half an hour early and it was sunny in Ireland.



























We had lunch in town.  After that, we walked around down by the river.   

On Saturday, we played basketball and wandered around the countryside for a bit.  Then we went into Dublin and got dinner and went to a couple pubs.
