As I am posting we only have one day left before our travel day home, but there is still so much to share about Ireland! As an update, we are just begining today our last play-day in London - a very cool city. We will land in SFO at 6:30pm. You have to click on this to see how happy Max is here at the Walled Garden in the Dromoland Castle. This incredibale garden looks exactly like one would picture a castle garden to look. Max interviewed the gardener in pure Max fashion and loved running about the place!
Yikes! Those cars are on the wrong side of the road!
We visited the Cliffs of Mohr on our way to Killarney. Here we are at the ruins of a round tower there. Sabine is napping in her deluxe stroller at the bottom. We left her with a nice lady.... her Momo!
Pop, carry me to the top!
We had lunch at Lahinch. In this terrific seaside town, there is a pub with a man who has been tending bar for 84 years! He knew the Darcy family and told Mo he remembered her gradfather (He was a tall man and wore a hat). Mary is in the bottom of the picture with her husband - they are relatives :-)
Max and Sabine tried not to let Vanya ever get far from their site. Here are the boys playing near the ocean in the rocks. They decided that they should throw the rocks and thought that I was very strange when I stopped them.
In Ireland most signs are in English and Gaelic! This means "One hundred thousand welcomes." (I think) Their complements seem exaggerated, but so kind. Mo was told she was "famous" and Max and Sabine are told they are "gorgeous". Wow, those Irish are addicting!
We took a bus from Dromolond to Killarney and rode on a ferry in the bus! Many people also called this ride "naptime."

The view...

This is at Cliffs of Mohr. For the record, that is Max's hot chocolate in Vanya's hand. That guy would do anything for Max! He also took charge of Sabine's stroller whenever the need arose - what a guy! Sabine can be heard all day shouting "Banya! Banya!"

This is video of our visit to Johnny and Betty's home. Max hit it off with their youngest son, Jack. This is video of them telling eachother knock knock jokes. Can't wait to get home and talk with everyone!
