The End

 So we say good bye to our friends in Ireland. Some are new friends like the boy pictured with Cristopher at lego camp.
 Sadly our only photo that contains all 3 of us. We may need to work on this tonight:-)
 We will always remember Scooby.
And our cousins in Killarney.

But before we end... We have been driving all week and I have a few observations about driving in Ireland. As you know they drive on the left (I call it the wrong side, Cristopher corrects me and says, "no Mom, it's just a different side:-) So there are 5 speed limits in Ireland as far as I can tell: 50, 60, 80, 100 and 120 KPH. 50 and 60 are reserved for towns and schools, 120 is reserved for the super highway (I think there are 2 of these) and 80 pops up occasionally (I'm not sure why). Everything else is 100. There is never any danger of speeding. If you decide to go the speed limit all the time you will likely end up in  a field because you missed a turn or in the wrong lane because you um.. missed a turn (the roads are a bit curvy).

We have enjoyed our trip and learned a little too!! I hope you enjoyed the trip reports. Until next time...

Yes, I did enjoy your Blog. Almost like having you home, well ... maybe not quite. It will be good to have you home and to have my garage back! Your father says "Ditto".
