Day 9

Waking up in the morning giggling after going to sleep giggling has to be the best thing ever. Hey Grainne..."Wanna play Barbies?" That is sooo funny.

Today has successfully been the wettest day of our Ireland experience. We left on a mission to get Grainne's pastry, fruit, and chocolate milk...got distracted with a couple other stops that turned out to be a terrible mistake. It poured rain the entire walk back...we were thoroughly drenched. To make things worse, we had a bus to catch in less than an hour...and there's almost no such thing as a dryer in this country. Considering how damp it is here, even on a sunny day or indoors, that is hard to believe. So we basically had no chance at getting dry again...said our goodbye's to Grainne :( ...and spent the next 3-4 hours sitting in wet clothes on a bus. Comfortable. The scenery was really beautiful, though, and we had our Ipod's to keep us sane. And...chocolate, of course. Kelly even saw some red deer, big antlers...pretty uncommon to see in Sligo apparently.

We were super happy to see Katie at the door when we arrived like two drown cats. Hot showers and to curl up on the couch in our pajamas with bowls of oatmeal (which we like to call porridge now) is really all we wanted.
