Family Research

Driving

Elaine wanted to do some family research, so she headed up to Castlebar in County Mayo where a whole herd of McHales live.

Ballynahinch Castle

Robyne and I spent the day hiking around the Ballynahinch Castle grounds. At one point, we went back to the castle to order a refreshing beverage. I asked the bartender if we could drink them outside. "Sure, we'll bring them out to you." "That's OK, I can carry them." He gave me a look like that was a most inappropriate suggestion. So he followed me out carrying our drinks on a tray. Fancy.

Besides lines at the airport and rainy days, Robyne also wanted our car to get stuck behind a herd of sheep. Whatever floats your boat. When Elaine returned she was very happy to report, that she had got stuck behind a herd of cows. It seems that one of the boy cows was bored with the wait and feeling rather frisky. Well, you get the idea.
