Ireland: Land of the Leprechans

9/24-9/25

Arrived unscathed in the Emerald Isle.  The weather could not be any better, lots of sun and the Irish are running around like it was 100 degrees.  More like upper seventies.  There is some bad news.  Henri lost his hat during transit from Wein to Dublin.  He is devastated about this loss.  His hat had been in the family for hundreds of years, it was passed down over several generations.  Irish officials for Aer Lingus have received Henri's request for assistance.  Although not hopeful of recovering the hat, Irish officials are pretty slow to act on issues, Henri will be looking for a temporary hat.  Meanwhile, the stay in Guaire, County Wexford has been going well.  Henri is looking for his distant cousins (the Leprechans of the O'Sheat family).  The moon is full tonight so  things look promising in locating relatives.

If you never have been to Ireland, rainbows are plentiful and the hills and valleys are every kind of shade of green one can imagine.  Sunday will be spent in Dublin Town checking out an antique fair and who knows what else may happen.

 Came upon a Vietnamese (not Viennese) restaurant.  There are plenty of food eating choices in Vienna.
Hum, must translate this:  Guess it means "day exit and not free stopping"

 A bit of an Irish meal...potatoes are KING.
This isn't a Leprechan.  He is a crazy Irish toddler running around the Hood.  Seems to be wired up, A.D.D.
