surrounding area and domestic life

Yay! I was able to upload the first set and no one is waiting for the computer anymore. phew! It is funny how you can travel around the world, yet certain parts remind you of home. I took some pictures of the yaught club here in Clontarf, but right across from the palm trees and boats is a huge factory. It reminds me of a blend of Hamilton and Sault St Marie. lol. You may be surprised to know that I did some laundry by hand. I filled my sink with warm water (even though I later realized I have cold water detergent lol) and then placed some latex gloves on my hands. I didn't think I was suppose to dunk my bare hands into detergent water, but I think I may be the only one with this fear. lol. I began washing the clothes and hanging them to dry..and then wait for the zinger...I closed the door and began ironing my clothes! I was watching the Brazil vs France game while doing it.

I noticed I am often under dressed compared to the other guests in the hotel, because (a) it is a castle and (b) there are constant weddings and receptions going on in the hotel so people are naturally dressed up. They have a wonderful tavern here where I ate dinner last night. hmmm...I think I will check up on those photos.
