A Heated Conversation (just for the fun of it)

2013-07-06

We were on our way to a BBQ with people I didn’t know, and I was running out of comfortable photo ops. Adam and Janet volunteered to become enthusiastic talkers for me on the drive over, so I could put the camera away for the night.

Hiking Ireland

July 5Howth (pronounced “howf” if you’re Irish).  A short train ride from Dublin will take you to a peninsula which is home to the small village, Howth. Evan and I spent a few hours in and around Howth and took a hike around the peninsula.

Beer and More Beer

May 4Evan and I started our day with a Guinness Storehouse tour and ended it with a literary pub crawl.  Our pub crawl guides took us to four pubs while entertaining and teaching us about the literary history of the city.  Great fun!
