We are LOVING Ireland!

We've just finished our 2nd day of work here in Greystones.  Half of us have been "decorating" a side house here at the YWCA.  They call painting, refurbishing, etc. decorating here.  We thought we'd be picking out curtains and such but have completely re-painted and cleaned out four bedrooms.  The other half has been doing various projects at a local church.  They've been breaking down old benches (102 years old), re-painting them, cleaning windows, weeding and scraping old fences.  

The house manager and his family, another couple that lives at the Y, and a local Irish family have done a wonderful job of welcoming us and making us feel at home.  They've shown us around the small town which is right on the coast (literally a 2 minute walk from our house.)  It is so beautiful and the people are friendly.  It is a bit cold but not as bad as the Colorado weather that we're used to!

We're planning on going into Dublin tomorrow and then having our New Years Eve here in Greystones!

We'll update you again soon!

Cheers!
