The Irish Homecoming: the honeymoon period of enjoying home continues...despite the soccer

We were sorry to leave beautiful Galway but promised to return again before the summer is out. It’s a busy week for us again.

John’s uncle, his wife and their kids are visiting from Chicago. They came home for the wedding.

On Monday night John’s wonderful aunt Irenaie cooked up a storm for all the family. Colum played outside in the back garden with all his little cousins. Sadie was passed from aunt to aunt as John and I enjoyed some delicious food.

We are back to reality for a while now. We have nearly closed on a rental. This will be confirmed later in the week.

Just as we think we have found something suitable something better comes along so it’s all last minute decisions.

I’ve a busy week of work. I’m up and down the country till Saturday interpreting (I’m a sign language interpreter). I enjoy being on the road.

Since Europe gave us all that road money back a few years ago it’s been put to good use, and journeys that would have taken us two hours in the past are now only an hour and a half. It’s fantastic.
The kids, or the Yanks as their cousins call them, are settling in well. Sadie really doesn’t know the difference and Colum is having a ball with his family. His favorite word is “out.”

People ask us all the time do we miss New York. The answer is no, not yet anyway.

What we tell them is we don’t miss New York but we do miss our friends terribly. We are still in our honeymoon phase in Ireland I guess, but so far it’s the best honeymoon I’ve ever been on.
