A very quick update...

I'm sorry I am not keeping everyone up to date on our adventure, but it is harder not having internet connection in our house. We have two more nights in Kenmare and then on to hotels for the rest of the trip, so it should get better. I have some beautiful photographs to post, partly of the Dingle Peninsula, which I loved.

The weather is terrible today, the worst it has been and we decided to go into town for lunch. By the time we got out, the streets were flooded and I'm not sure we can get back to our house right now. Oh well, I can think of worse places to be stuck.

We had a really interesting conversation last night with a couple of guys from England who are living here now. They have some strong feelings about the United States -- at least one of them did. We talked to them for quite a while and hopefully I will write more about it later, when I have more time. I find talking to people from other parts of the world just fascinating. That's what travel is all about in my opinion.

I have to admit that I am really missing sunshine. Maybe I have a vitamin D deficiency developing. Can it happen that fast? I feel like I haven't been active enough and eating way too much. There are such beautiful areas to walk around here, we just need Mother Nature to cooperate. Enough complaining -- I know how lucky I am to be here, rain or shine.

I have to go check out the flooding and see if we can get out of here or if we need to start building an ark.
