Yes, it was gorgeous and wonderful! I accompanied my parents there -- it was each of our first trip abroad, if we don't count Dad's time in WWII. A very special 'getting to know' the folks better which was an added sweetness.

We met a woman with our last name in the same town Dad's great-grandparents came from, Templeboy in county Sligo. Although she's not into genealogy, one of her sisters is, and she's convinced we're cousins to some degree or another. That was an unexpected delight, too.

I need to log off now, but will tell more later.

Maybe KAK can teach me how to post some of the pics this weekend.

{{{hugs, all}}}
