Alas,
we have finally traveled to a place Far and Away.
You can imagine how excited Bud and I were to be invited
to Ireland with Dirk and family.
We weren't 100% sure about Dirk's ancestry before we
met him but we can now assure everyone that he is indeed
Irish!
Dirk didn't brag about himself at all during the entire
trip but I gotta say he is one heck of a singer. I'll
save the bragging on his behalf for the end of this
adventure.
Needless to say the minute we stepped off the plane
Bud and I were feeling Irish. Well Bud was, I was feeling
a little air sick and travel weary but looking forward
to the adventure.

Our
very first picture in sunny Dublin, right off Grafton
Street. I decided to show Bud how to busk (street perform)
here as we needed money for our trip. Unfortunately
I couldn't show off my fire knife dancing skills here.

We
were feeling homesick, so we took a break in this stream.
All these American knackers were staring like they have
never seen a tiki and his gnome before. Tourists!

When
we arrived in Cobh
(pronouced cove) (Queenstown) we were
amazed by the place.
ALL of the immigrants to the USA left from right here!
In a moment of semi-drunken nostalgia and sympathy,
Bud offered himself to the gods.

| Things
got a bit better off and Dirk put us up at Castle
Glin in Limerick. We met a real knight
and, not to brag, but I slept with a few wenches. |

|
| We
broke the 4th wall here to show Dirk capturing our best
side. |

This
is the result. Us overlooking the River Shannon on a typical
foggy/rainy Irish day.
