Amy doesnt know I'm posting this- ha! She's asleep in bed upstairs right now, as is Rachael. We made it to Galway today. This is the first night in many nights that we didnt accidentally fall asleep at 7pm... at least they made it to 9 tonight.
(View from the Aran Islands... rotate your head 90 degrees clockwise... we havent figured out how to rotate them yet...)
I have decided that Killarney was more Irish than touristy... we passed through a few more towns on the way here that looked very similar, so either they are all touristy or they are all Irish. I just thought i should clear that up for you. I know you were probably dwelling on it... and I hate to have you dwelling on anything like that! I'd rather you dwell on things like... global warming, or... world war 3, or... your shopping list for tomorrow.
Another thing you dont have to worry about anymore, and neither do we, is how we're getting to Edinburgh- we gots ourselves a plane ride over there. Woo! So no fretting, other than whether you want turkey sandwiches or PB&J.
I accidentally threw away a real plate today. We were at a Supermacs (which are common in Ireland, like burger king and mcdonalds but nicer) and were getting up to go when I dumped everything on my plate into the garbage. Rachael pointed out that I had indeed just thrown away a non-disposable plate, but I it wasnt mine so I wasnt going to go fishing through the garbage to get it out. Yeah that's right. Take that Supermacs.
Once we figure out how to upload pictures to this thing, we're going to post some pictures. Actually, let me reword that. Once we get onto the computer while we have both the camera and the connecting cords, then we're going to post some pictures. So then you get to see some of what we've seen! Arent you excited?!
I dont know if you realized this, but irish keyboards have the @ symbol where we usually have the " symbol. And they have small return buttons so I keep hitting # instead of enter. AND they drive on the wrong side of the road. AND they have white lines in the center of the road and yellow lines on the edges. AND they sometimes have white lines between lanes of the same direction, so I have no idea how they can tell if it's a one-way or two-way road. Good thing I'm not driving. We met some people from New York the other night who were adventurous enough to try driving. And they ended up in an accident, just as I would expect would happen to me.

Looking forward to pics. How long is the flight and when do you catch it?
Good for putting pictures up soon.
And Amy would would have PB&J sandwiches because she doesn't eat turkey. Problem solved!
the flight was an hour, and we caught it bright and early at 6:00 am, meaning we had to catch a 3:30 bus over to the airport. which we coudlnt' get tickets to ahead of time, cause we waited too long. meaning that we just arrived at 330 hoping to get on (a little too last minute for my taste) but we got on so all was good!
yea i plan on having a post or three that briefly recap, then hopefully we can keep them kind of updated. that would be cool, if we can figure it out.
see shelley, that would be amazing if that was possible, but the problem is there is no peanut butter over here! barbaric!
