Tonight Tim's brother, Kevin O'Donoughe, and his daughter, Aoifa, came and prepared at wonderful dinner for us. I don't think any of us are leaving Ireland hungry. We enjoyed a great selection of cheeses & crackers before hand and our choice of lamb, salmon, chicken & quiona for entrees. Of course, this is Ireland so we had mashed potatoes and roasted root veggies as well. For dessert there was homemade apple pie with whipped cream and Irish coffees.
Young Denny wasn't here to enjoy this last meal with us. He took the train to Dublin tonight to catch an early flight back to the States tomorrow.
Not all of us will be heading home tomorrow. Pam & Jimmy will be here for 3 more days, Kevin & Margie for another week, and Bill & Tina, the lucky dogs, will be staying for another 2 weeks. They've rented a house near County Mayo where our ancestors are from.
I probably won't have time to post anything tomorrow as we'll be leaving early for the airport. But as you can probably tell from these posts, we've had a fantastic time. Being together was top of each one's list of best of Ireland, followed by meeting such friendly folks. The weather turned out to be great these last few days and we've all enjoyed that. Everyone we've met - from folks on the streets or in the shops/restaurants to the ones who took such good care of us this week- they couldn't have been nicer. Our trip is over way too soon but we're taking wonderful memories home with us.
