We made it! We are in Dublin, Ireland. It was a pretty smooth trip, but of course we all feel a bit jet lagged and tired. In fact, everyone is sleeping right now. It's hard to figure out what time of day it is, it seems like the longest day ever, because we traveled over night but with the time zones, was like a 5 hour night in which we didn't really sleep. We are staying in a cute apartment in the heart of the city, over some lively pubs. It really is like the movies portray, lots of singing and laughter sounds coming in through our windows. It was a pretty scary for me, but stressful for Scott driving in this city. He did a good job navigating a car that drives somewhat different, and of course driving from the right side of the car and on the left side of the road. It was tricky figuring out how to get anywhere this morning - there are no typical street signs - there are some signs on the sides of buildings if you look closely and quickly you can see them - but not usually in enough time to turn onto them, and many are 1 way and not very well marked that way. It took him close to an hour just to find a parking lot that he could park the rental car in and actually get to it. So far, I've noticed little things that are different -the toilets, the streets, the noises, and the smell of this place - very different than home. My favorite phrase I have heard so far is "Thanks a million" - apparently said very frequently here. Tonight we plan to walk around Temple Bar area, and get more sleep - we have to be up very early for a 12 hour tour tomorrow. It should be fun to get out of the city and see the beauty of the countryside - and the cliffs of Moher. Thanks for praying! I believe it helped a lot - no one got sick, and the kids were great on the plane rides. We miss you all  - We will try to get some pics uploaded soon. ~ Angela
