Ireland 2016

[Drunk Monk]

Funny you should mention poteen as I was just reading something on that in that pub whiskey list. I think I might do a tourist whiskey tasting as if I just starting self selecting, that would be astronomically pricey and we're already way over budget (absurd when this started as a free trip). I've achieved my major goals here already - the rest is all gravy. Getting Tara back to the Hill of Tara has become a mission. Getting everyone healthy is a priority. There's a finale mission too, but I don't want to jinx it, so I'll reveal that after the fact if successful.

Stacy is asleep now. Tara is working on homework between sniffling and coughing. I'm charging stuff and posting here obviously. I used to write copious notes, but now I just post here. It's more efficient and I don't publically blog because I'd prolly piss off a lot of my mag readers, or at least befuddle them too much to stay subscribed.

Despite the sickness, I'm really enjoying Ireland. The weather has been with us in that we've dodged most of the rain. The historic sites have all exceeded expectations. I've really been enjoying pub culture  - I've bar hopped all around this world, but nothing compares to the warmth of an Irish pub.
