An Irish life for me!

Hello to the world of those who found my blog and hoped to be updated upon its cliff-edged pages!
Alas, blogging has never been my strong suit, and many travels have already come to pass. Misty and I have been kicking back our figurative chairs in Ireland for almost a week now, living with a lovely family just on the the southern edge of Dublin. It's really a village named Greystones.
We have seen a few things--the sights of London (I didn't for I was sick with a cold), the cottages of the Cotswolds, a manor house called Burghley House (and the set for Lady Catherine de Burgh's home in the latest "Pride & Prejudice"), a day in Cambridge, then off to Scotland for the Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat, and now in Ireland for the valley of the monasteries aka Glendalaugh (pronounced glen-dough-lock) and the site of the Robert Moore poem "The Meeting of the Waters," as well as a bike tour through Itish countryside.
Please see our facebook pages for more of the views through photos and videos--add me if you haven't: www.facebook.com/sally.boyce
And visit my youtube page for all the videos: www.youtube.com/user/sallyjean722
I'm off to build some omelettes for our host family the Warnocks. It's a lovely land and trip we have found ourselves in. :)
