Hello from Dublin!

As you may know already, we're in Dublin!

Sláinte! from the Gravity Bar atop the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.

We're here for a work trip for M, then we head to Brussels to spend Christmas and New Years with our friends Kate and Stéphane.

Winter may not be the ideal time to travel to Ireland, but we've really enjoyed it so far. In fact, we've been pretty lucky, and the weather really hasn't been too bad. 

This past weekend, we rented a car and drove from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, and then stayed overnight in Galway. The Cliffs were amazing. The wind gusts were crazy - I almost got blown over and had to go over to the side of the path and hold on to the wall! Driving through the Irish countryside was beautiful, and I'm so glad we got to see it, even if it was a short road trip. 

We're here in Dublin a few more days, then on to Brussels! Looking forward to relaxing with good friends, eating frites and chocolate, and drinking Belgian beer!

We're sad to be so far away from the rest of our friends and our family on Christmas, but we'll be thinking of you! xoxo

Unpacking

Unpacking is going a bit slowly. I may have eaten my lunch and dinner off a serving tray because I haven't unearthed any regular dishes. You may well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

Our New House!

Yesterday we moved into our new house, which is wonderful!

It's a 3-bedroom terrace house, still in our same Inner West suburb of Newtown. The owners recently renovated to add a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom upstairs. Here's the album with all of our pics:
