Around Skerries
Just a few pictures for family that haven't been here yet. These are along the coast in Skerries.
Lovely Easter weekend
Easter weekend here was fantastic. The weather was great and I had 4 glorious days off from work. Sunday we went to the Gaelic football match at Parnell Park (up the Dubs!), but for the rest of the time we just hung out at home and in Skerries.
Now Easter weekend is a strange thing here. No booze can be sold at all on Friday (stores or pubs) but all of the other stores are open. Monday the stores are closed but the pubs are open. Strange.
Oh, and Irish people (yes, all of them) seem to have spent the entire weekend washing their cars. Over, and over again. Then they vacuum the interior. Then they wash again. Fixated with clean cars these Irish.
This coming weekend I'm taking my class to Marble Arch Caves in Fermanagh, right on the border. Should be fun!
