Some photos from Ireland

We are having a grand time here in Ireland, so we are. We have toured with Michael and Becky Stewart for the most part. Our home base is at Michael's families home in Dublin. They have a large home with plenty of room for all 6 of us (the Stewarts have two children ages 5 and 3). Grandma Stewart took care of the children last week week while Dad and I went with Michael and Becky to Northern Ireland and to the West. We did see the oldest wiskey still in the world among all the old buildings, castles, beautiful country side and more. We stayed with 3 different Irish families in our travels. What a treat to live with the locals while we are here. Dad and I walked around Dublin today (the first day we went off on our own. Even though we enjoyed being together in Ireland, we got lost so many times. We did get to have coffee at the student union coffee shop at Trinity College (built in the 1400's), bought some calendars to give to you all and saw Dublin Castle (built in the 1100's). Some of the things we went to see were closed. The weather has been beautiful for this time of year. It is raining now, only the second time since we got here. We will be flying home on Wednesday and will call you all later this week. We love you, Mom and Dad.
