Hosting Part 2: Ma and Da

So on Saturday 28th, I did the classic substitution of guests at Dublin Airport, trading Becca for the Rents. While it was a tough trade, it worked out for everyone's running game in the end...

Fortunately all while playing host for these two weeks, Ireland had its best weather all year. Summer last about 2-3 weeks in March, and then its back to the rainy season. It was a similar game plan with the Rents to not try and see everything, but spend a good amount of time in Galway and visit the South. We rented a car, and with me driving the entire time, we were able to get a lot in...

Once again, eating out Galway was tremendous, finding lots of cool cafes and notable restaurants and pubs. Our trip down South to Kenmare had even better food establishments. We spent a night in Doolin - the epicenter for Trad music in Ireland's West - and attempted to see the Cliffs of Mohr on a foggy day. From there we headed down to the town of Kenmare, which is in between the Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara. Dad and I had the opportunity to play Golf at the Ring of Kerry Golf Course - the best views in all of the Irish Courses - while Mom hit the Town all day. That eve we conquered the treachorous Ring of Beara, and then enjoyed the Ireland-Italy Cup qualifying soccer match.

On our way back to Dublin, we were able to catch up with Grandma Dietrich's good friend in County Tipperary, and then head to Newgrange just North of Dublin - The historical and spiritual ruins region of Ireland.

Mom and Dad had a great time in Ireland, breaking Mom's 30+ year hiatus from Ireland, and Dad's streak of wearing a Tie at least once every week since he was 3 and half...

Here are the pictures that I have, primarily from the Golf outing, otherwise Mom will have more.

Good job Fam!
