Ireland Trip

Now that we're into the new appartment (the lime green room really has to go!), i finally have a scanner again, so here are some of the picutres that I took when we were in ireland. The first two are at guinness, with my cousin michael, and my mom and I, and then my aunt irmgard, cousin cederic, and uncle heinz in the other one.

This was the street that our hotel was on.
Grafton Street downtown in Dublin.
This is in northern ireland, at the carrick-a-rede rope bridge (you could see scotland from there), and so are the next two, it was really really pretty there, i think the day we went to the north was my favourite day of the whole trip.


and the giant's causeway...

after a long night of laundry, i decided that the blog needed a little prettying up. I really want a digital camera so i'll be able to take amazing random pics like these one day soon.

One more week to go....

I'm down to the last week at rock garden now, and I'm not sure I can go the whole week without killing a customer. Some crazy lady (wherever you are, you know who you are) came in and insisted that the corn that we're selling wasn't from our field. I just didn't know what to say to that one, unless Leonard magically comes out of the corn field with someone else's corn everyday...
I just didn't know what to say to that one. It's right up there with the guy who bought green tomatoes and accused us of trying to pass off mexican produce as ontario tomatoes. Yup, the crazies sure love me. I'll miss the crazies I work with, since they're adorable and funny, but not the damn customers!

I Love Guinness

What can I say? My pint at the gravity bar, on top of the guinness store house (complete with the clover and a view of all of dublin) won me over, yay for guinness! The trip was amazing, We saw just about all of dublin, which is a wonderful city, even if it is really expensive. They've really put an effort into preserving the old historical buildings, so there arent many buildings ovre five stories tall in the city. That gives it a great atmosphere of history, and it makes the city seem very unimposing. I also got to meet some of my family from germany again. I saw my cousin Michael again, and met his son, who's four, and very blond and cute. I also got to see my aunt and uncle again, as well as their gandson (michael's sister's son) Cederic. He's gone from being a bratty little kid, to a mopey teenager, meh. The grandparents call him Ceddy a lot, I coulnd't help but laugh a bit!
I think the highlight of the trip was the day trip we took up to Northren Ireland. We went to see the giant's causeway, and a lot of the coast. We even saw Scotland from across the water. The picutres are getting developed today (I hope), so there will be more to come later on.
