When you think of Ireland do you envision trees blowing sideways and sleet pounding your car, no neither do I. But, there you have it. Terrible weather but lots of friendly warm people. Hot coffee and an Irish version of fruitcake made the thoughts of bad weather go away. This fruitcake was soaked in good Irish whiskey which made it even better. Went to two churches today and the day went by quickly. We made arroz con pollo in a crockpot. FYI, it doesn't work. Should have been baked in the oven. Very mushy and a little disgusting but edible. Let me back up. Before the main event, Nicole had brought snails from France. Tasty little critters. One more week in the Green.
