    I'm back from Ireland

    I had a really fun 2 weeks away, I missed this place.

    The funniest thing happened - I opened up my suitcase when I arrived at one of the B&Bs we stayed at, and Hanna's little bell feather toy was in there! She had left her toy in my luggage so I didn't forget her, I think. So I lugged that all over Ireland, and she was happy to get it back.

    I saw so many cats and dogs over there, the Irish really love their pets. I saw one cat I was so tempted to bring home, I am pretty sure he was a stray as he was a little dirty. He wasn't skinny at all, I didn't see any skinny strays. Now it will bother me forever about that little cat, I saw him all over one town I was in, he seemed to know his way around very well and he was very social.

    I'll have pictures on a webpage up soon after I get them sorted out and transferred off my laptop.

    Sounds like you had a great time Poor Hanna, she must have missed her little toy, or maybe it was a gift to you so you don't forget about her?
    I would be tempted to bring home a stray too, but maybe he belonged to the whole town, one of those town cats.

    Can't wait to see pics!

    Welcome back. I've never been to Ireland but I'd love to go. (Although I'd have a problem driving on the left side).
    I am sure Hanna gave you here toy to make sure you don't forget her. Tigris also one time gave me a mousie into my back pack when I went to Bali

    Welcome back. Glad you had a nice trip. I wondered where your posts were.
    I think it is so nice of Hanna to let you take her toy with you as a security blanket
    .

    THe Irish are very nice, friendly and helpful people. The only sour person I met was a youger guy working in the DART station when we went to Dublin.

    I'm not too happy with the software I used to create the album, but I was in a hurry and it will have to do.

    Pictures can be seen here

    Welcome back. You are quit the photographer. Those are beautiful pictures. I especially love the one on page 3, cats at our B+B in Doolin, where the white kitty is looking at the black and white kitty cleaning itself on the window ledge.

    Those are wonderful photos, thanks for sharing! I see you've also been to London. Been there and have been in some of the places you've photographed. But Ireland is absolutely wonderful! This green landscape, and the coast... must be a very interesting country to visit!
