We haven't written in here in a while. We have been doing some traveling since we quit our restaurant jobs. Tadhg's friend, Nuala, graciously offered her cottage in Dunmore East to us. Dunmore East is on the Southern coast of Ireland near Waterford. We spent a few days there relaxing by the fire and reading. We then went to Waterford to spend some time with the Kilgallens. Michael Kilgallen has been friends with Michael's dad since their school days. Michael and his wife, Mary, showed us a great time in Waterford. Here is a link to some of our pictures from that week.

We spent a little time in Dublin after this trip and then were off to Turkey for two weeks. Tadhg has a condo in a fishing village in Yalikavak, Turkey that we stayed in. We had an awesome time in Turkey. The weather was beautiful. It was a nice change from the cold and wet days in Ireland. Here is a link to pictures from that trip.

We got home from Turkey on a Monday and left for Paris early Wednesday morning and returned to Dublin late the next day. Ryanair had a great deal going to Paris so we couldn't pass it up. Paris was absolutely gorgeous. We were there on the night they had the ceremony where they light the city for Christmas. It was absolutely beautful. Here is a link to pictures from Paris.

We got home from Paris late Thursday night and went to Helena's the next day to prepare for the big Thanksgiving/Helena's birthday dinner Michael and I were cooking the next day. Here is a link to some pictures from Helena's birthday/ Thanksgiving dinner and other happenings in Ireland.

Our plan now is to find another job for our last remaining weeks. We have an interview with a recruitment agency this week so hopefully they have something for us. We will try to be a little better at updating this. I just squished about a month and a half worth of stuff into one update:)
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
