July 2nd, Ireland

We continue to have fun in Ireland, but are still getting used to the time change. I woke up at at 4:50am and was wide awake. The kids slept in late today. So after waking, we planned on going around Cobh (the town we are staying in). Brenna didn't wake up until after 11am and it was obvious that she wasn't well. So Deirdre took my mom and Gavin (everyone else is off on trips) to Cobh. They went to a beautiful cathedral and down to the harbor.

Now, while this enjoyment was all going on, Brenna's "not well", turned into "very sick". She was sick on and off all day. She finally perked up late afternoon, so the whole day was not a waste.

We went to Ann's house for a great dinner. Gavin and I also took a great walk up the road and saw some really pretty sites.

Zack and John are in Scotland, John W is in Amesterdam and Megan is in Paris. Since our cell phones are not working here, I don't know how things are going. They will be back on Friday so we will here then.

My memory card doesn't work on Deirdre's computer, so I am not sure we will have any pictures on the blog until after we get home.

Gavin is learning some Irish, AND we saw Spongebob Squarepants in Irish today. Not the irish accent, the actual irish language. Apparently Dora speaks Irish too.

Tomorrow we are planning on going to the Titanic Museum (cobh was the last port for the Titanic), the English Market in Cork City and Fota Wildlife park.
