Q&A

Mother: Galway is on the west coast of Ireland, where you can take a ferry to the Aran Islands.

Daddy: The 'they' is Valerie and her boyfriend Emilio.  And yes, of course we kissed the Blarney stone!  And now we are supposed to be more eloquent...but I'm not sure it worked.  Although we are picking up phrases here and accent alterations there.  We're going to be quite a jumble of cultures when we get back.

Debbie:  Well, naturally we're drinking the Scotch Whisky!  I mean, I would not be accused of snubbing a culture and refusing to experience it to the fullest!  ;-)=

Cas*: I'm sure one or both of us will be posting more about Loch Ness later, but you must know we had a nice long chat with Nessie.  She's awfully fond of us.  She just loves toying with the tourists and the locals, the little skamp.
