MacKat in Ireland

Irish Adventures ‘R’ Us

An Iowan taking pictures of cows…Irish cows

Tucked away behind Kilmurry Village we found a pasture filled with Irish cows. Not dairy cows, not American cows, not British cows, but purely Irish cows. Mark thought they might moo with an accent, so we took a closer look. Mark called out to them in an “American moo” to see if they would communicate back, but they ran off. He has never been very good at foreign languages…

On a more positive note…

Our second (or possibly it was our third) shopping outing was a success. We not only found edible food, but also a drying rack and shower shoes for me. To wash and dry laundry here it costs 4.80 euro (almost $7 per load). We’ll rough it by hanging our clothes to dry.

Our meals have consisted of pizza, chicken, noodles, and our new favorite appetizer – bread with cheese and ham cooked in the oven. There’s also yogurt, peaches/pears, jelly, and fruit juice…but only one of us is brave enough to try these foods…

We also have mint chocolate chip ice cream! Just as good as at home, just in a smaller container (and more expensive).
