Home again

Our flight from Dublin to Philadelphia was uneventful, though if we had tried to leave later in the day or on Sunday, I’m not sure we would have made it due to Hurricane Irene.  Our flight from Philly to Harrisburg however, was delayed.  It’s the last link that’s usually a problem.

I write these things for a few reasons:  as a documentary record, to say I do “web publishing”, and to hone my writing skills.  But I also hope that after reading some of this, you’ll want to see these places too.  I can certainly recommend Ireland, because for a country that’s only slightly larger than West Virginia, it’s got a lot of history to see, some beautiful coastline to explore, and great people to meet.  Just be sure to bring a raincoat, umbrella, or hoodie and you’ll be fine.

Below are some pictures I didn't get a chance to post before.
