| Ireland, Thanksgiving 2007 |
We headed on over to another island in the Atlantic to visit our friend Linda who was studying to get her MBA at the University of Dublin. The flight took about 35 minutes, up and back down again. We were greeted by Linda's sweet brother, Nial, who made us a traditional fry up breakfast--think black pudding, bacon, beans, toast and eggs. Linda was a wonderful host and it's always so good to see her. We celebrated Thanksgiving with her MBA coursemates as a few of them were American and had a dinner with 3 turkeys! Linda showed us all the hidden gems in Dublin. We loved it here. I think mostly because it reminded us so much of America. There's something different between the Irish and the Scots. They are both friendly, but I think the Irish warm up a bit quicker. And when the Irish accent swirls around you and you can't pick out any one voice, you could be in Anytown, USA. We said we'd come to Ireland when we were homesick, certainly a shorter flight:) Oh and the Guiness really does taste better in Ireland.
