Tourist Time

We started with a couple of heritage sites on our way up to Belfast, but the rest of our trip has consisted with meetings to scout whether Ireland could ever be a possible home for the Orf's.  The past couple of days have been really encouraging.

Joy put it best when she shared that our last trip was an opportunity to meet Ireland and this trip is intended to meet the people of Ireland.  What we are discovering is that there are people whose hearts beat similar to our own.

Tomorrow is the beginning of introducing our friends Diana and Eisha to this amazing island.  It will be a short trip and is guaranteed to fall short of embracing the full beauty and mystique of the land and culture, but it should be sweet.  Our drive will begin at our farm cottage, of which I will include pictures and follow the Antrim coast to Giant's Causeway.

The past two days have contained 200% of Ireland's annual snowfall.  Good thing we come from the Rockies where it snows at least 6 feet a week.  All of us except Eisha who is from San Diego and had to cross the Atlantic to find some decent snow.
