June 09

We had another uniquely Irish experience in early June - the big, pub celebration of the 21st birthday of Mikey, the son of our landlords. These are even bigger occasions here than in the US, and are attended by all of the honoree's friends as well as all friends and relatives of the entire family. We had a great time meeting the extended family, and listening to great music provided mostly by family, including Mikey! This was during Mary Droho's visit, so she enjoyed the evening with us.
