I had real good intentions of posting a bunch of new pictures tonight, but I just realized that Melissa has the camera and she's currently on a school trip to Manchester, England until tomorrow night. I guess I can only say that we're sadly nearing the end of our time in the penthouse suite of 17 Harrington Street. It's crazy how fast this year has gone by, and even though we're really excited to travel to Egypt, Greece, Italy, and Switzerland, we know that once we leave our apartment next Friday we'll only be coming back to Dublin for a few days at the end of July before we head back home for good. Irish time apparently only happens when you need something to get done because it didn't slow this year down any!
In other news: Keith left a few days ago to wrap up our visitors for the year, my tattoo has healed nicely, our last days of work are this Friday, the Mets are still mediocre, and Dublin summers are only summer by name. But at least it stays light out until after 11pm!

Donegal Pics
I uploaded a lot of Donegal pics. I only left out some of them because we had such great weather that most of the pics came out pretty good. Enjoy!
(Apparently there is something wrong with Picasa Web Albums and you may not be able to access the pictures right now. Hopefully it will be working soon!)

Funny story from Donegal: We were driving around one day through a little town and I pulled over to the side of the road for a second just so we could take a look at the map. Lo and behold the left front tire ended up going down into this little narrow ditch that you couldn't see and we were stuck. We couldn't do anything on our own to get it out but the citizens of Glencolumbkille came to our rescue. A car pulled up and a guy gets out and asks if we need any help. Sure do, so he went to go to the people's house that lived right there because he said they have a tractor. Then a truck pulls up, and he stops to help, and another truck stops with some rope and another person stops and within a few minutes we have a whole cavalry assembled. We pulled it out a few minutes later and everybody just hopped right back into their vehicles and moved along. This had to have been record response time in Ireland. And I'm sure we made for a good story at the pub that night, or maybe a few minutes later.

Inked!
I said I was going to get a tattoo while here in Ireland, so here it is! I think it came out really well, but I'm sure my parents will be the ultimate judge of that.
We're a little behind getting those Donegal pics up, but they should be up before the weekend is over.
Here's my Celtic shamrock:
