Tedd is a wee bit out of shape

I'll have to upload this later, but as I'm writing, we're on our way to the northern shores which include the Giant's Causeway. Zach and I have been having fun with the drive... past mile after mile of green pastures, cows, and sheep, Martin zipping along over tiny country roads, Lucy hanging on for dear life and hollering at Martin, Jack (their youngest) out cold, falling over on Zach's shoulder and drooling, and generally just enjoying some beautiful weather. I can't say I'm exactly looking forward to returning to 110 degrees in Phoenix!

Okay, that paragraph was on the way. We're now at Matt's folks' house and I've got some Net time. The Giant's Causeway was remarkable. But the reason I mention being out of shape was the Mount Everest of a hike we went on after it. (Okay, perhaps I'm exaggerating a little...) But wow, what a view. I hope some of the pictures remotely do it justice; I wonder because it was a really cloudy day and it seems to confuse digital cameras color-wise. And size. It's hard to nail the immensity of the place. Kind of like taking pictures of the Grand Canyon; you can get a nice representation of it in a 4x6 print, but it doesn't really do the place justice. Sort of like here. It's one of those places you just have to come see.

On the way back here, Martin and Lucy stopped off and treated us to some classic fish & chips. Good stuff, and HUGE portions! Let the record show, by the way, that I FINISHED EATING BEFORE ZACH. Yes, it occasionally happens.

Tomorrow is a day trip to Dublin, if Zach and I can get up early enough!

It's not as logical a link as this blog, so I figure I should post the link for pictures every so often. Here you go: http://picasaweb.google.com/tth7902/Ireland2010#

Tedd, I had to navigate through a million photos to get to the important ones and then I find out you only uploaded 2 pictures of the food!? This is outrageous!

Sorry, Radu! I shall try to do better for you. It doesn't usually occur to me to take pictures of food, so I was proud of myself for getting even those two up there. :)
