Ireland






I figured that I haven't told to many stories of Ireland yet. I'll start today. We arrived in Ireland I think at least an hour ahead of time because of the tail wind. Our flight was 4 hours 45 minutes instead of 6. So we got there, and it was dark. We got the car, and I was off to drive on the wrong side of the car and wrong side of the road. Luckily, dad had chosen to stay close, in a town called Bunratty for the first day. We found a Bed and Breakfast called the Park House and got settled in. It was pretty early in the day and we were lucky that they let us in so early. The man of the house had tea and cookies while the rooms were made up. We crashed......for quite a few hours.
That evening, we went to a Medievil Banquet. It was in a real castle, which made it even cooler. The castle still has all of the buildings around it, so we checked it all out. The meal was traditional food from the Medievil times, I believe......it was fun.
After the banquet, we went to Durty Nellies, a pub across the street. We ordered our first Guiness! Yippee! And Gary got into trouble because he didn't let them pour it correctly. He grabbed the beer after the first pour. They have to pour it twice....which I'll explain later when I write about the Guiness Storehouse Tour.
So here is our first day with some pictures!

Love you all!
