Pictures are more fun that words

Eire, the condensed version

hello!

So it's been a while, and Kirsten's promptings have encouraged me to write a quick update:

I'm in Ireland now! And incredibly glad to be here. Didn't really plan on coming this week, but after meeting Mom and Dad at the airport in London last week, I decided it would be a good time to do a quick tour.

I arrived by ferry on Wednesday and then went to my cousin Derrek's wedding on Thursday, which was really fun. It's great to see all of my family and meet some of the younger ones for the first time.

The weather has been really amazing... so warm and sunny. It's not what I was expecting! This country is beautiful and I've seen some really amazing things (neo-lithic cairns, fairy trees, castles, pubs in mullingar, ect) which I'll write about more when I get the chance.

much love to everyone
