Walking tour of Athlone

Today we got up nice and early so we could have an Irish breakfast. We walked down to the restaurant and they were closed because its a bank holiday weekend.(boo hoo) So tomorrow it might be closed too but we are determined to get an Irish breakfast as soon as we can: ) However, our walking tour was amazing! We also went to the grocery store which is Tesco here(Fresh and Easy back home). The weather is so nice right now, sunny with a strong cool breeze! They say this is rare and to enjoy it while you can because usually it's raining.

YEAH WE MADE IT

Well we finally made it here and it is just beautiful! The weather is perfect and we have a whole apartment to ourselves (4 bedrooms, 2 baths, livingroom, and kitchen). We are getting settled in now, unpacking and such. We are all going out tonight to our first authentic pub and to chat it up with the locals. It is so fun to hear them speak! Our buss driver was a really cool guy. He was scottish and I was so excited that I caught it before he told us! It is so green here and there are tons of farms with cows roaming the huge grassy fields, we love it! Here is a preview of our home for the next month...

Ireland here we come!
