Greeted by sunshine as we arrived at Dublin airport and so far lovely weather everywhere. Everyone has been so sweet starting with our Irish flight attendant. Everyone has been touched I think to hear Jim's promise to his dad to bring his ashes home to his ancestral land. Mac always was a proud Irish American.
After Jim's very brave 2 hour drive on the left side. Of the road!!!!!!!!!!!! We arrived in. Southeast city of Wexford location of many Battles for Irish independence. Went to battle of vinegar hill museum. Very touched by.the young couple who ran the place and their dedication to preserving Irish history. They spent a lot of time with us. By the way, they spoke Gaelic as do many people here. Most signs are bilingual. So much for it being a dying language.
Spent the night in what was a doityourself hostel. Comfy and heard so many languages in the common area. Went to a pub where local musicians were playing Beatles music. Too late for pub food so took bread fruit and yummy local cheese back to hostel.
