In Ireland!
To say that the world is small is no exaggeration. Above is the B&B in Dublin that I stayed in last night. After I checked out I headed down the street towards the train station. Concerned that I might be headed in the wrong direction I stopped an older woman as she came out her door to verify where the station was. She said, "And where might you be from?" I told her and she said "Oh My Lord! I am a former sister of charity of Leavenworth, Kansas. My name is Phyllis Gibbons and I taught for several years at Most Pure Heart Elementary School in the early 1960's. Two more suprised people you couldn't have found in Ireland this morning. I made it to Rosslare Harbour, rented a car and drove (in the rain AAAAAGGGGG!!!!!) to the O'leary Farm Bed and Breakfast where I'll be spending the week while doing my storytelling gigs and searching for my great great grandparent's graves. The driving?..............it wasn't so much the driving on the left side that bothered me. It was getting used to cars coming headed toward you on the right.
To tell you more of how I did driving on the right side of the car on the left side of the road will take much more space and time than I have right now. Just let it be said that I survived the first hour. My nerves are shot but I'm sure the weather will be better tomorrow so I can get some good practice driving time. Just keep telling yourself "Drive on the left.Drive on the left. Drive on the left......." Also....Bill, if you're reading this I'm having trouble getting onto my Cox Webmail. I'll try again tomorrow........
