Pubbers land

The Pubbers are back safely.

Spoke to them briefly last night at 8p.m. our time, so 1a.m. to them. Customs let them through and the cats welcomed them home. Will get out to Gaithersburg over the weekend to see some of the many pics and get some stories.

Initial impression shared with me was Ireland has lots and lots of stone architecture and amazingly old structures. Rained briefly once during the whole trip.
Old stone stuff, pubs, fish, potato, bread. All in large quantities, repeatedly. Oh, and beer. Literally a few pubs per block I'm told.

Snow up in the Western Tier of NY I hear. Yikes.
