"The first days are the hardest days..."
--Grateful Dead
Arrived in Dublin on Thursday, 28 February, and hit the ground running in Limerick with my first week of work last week, in dealing with broken washing machines and my broken foot and losing my way around town and grocery shopping and government red tape and all kinds of new experiences. But the people here, truly, are what makes the place. Could NOT be more gracious. I thought Southerners were the nicest people around, but the Irish make us look like a bunch of Yankees. At least I think these people are nice--can't really understand everything said through thick (pronounced "tick" here) Limerick accents. Because I am quite sure I'm not the one with an accent, of course.
So, for your enjoyment, check out this link to brush up on your Irish slang--

I miss my family and friends and, of course, my Lola. Pictures and hopefully some video to come soon.

nice work. Do they sell Lucky Charms over there? More important, do people really try to steal them? You should keep a box on your desk and test this theory.
I've been in Hawaii for the past three weeks. It's not cold there, but it is green. So I kind of know how you feel.
