The Emerald Isle

 

Our next stop on the trip was a visit to Jo's family in Ireland.   Driving back from the airport was a complete contradiction to the US roadtrip - bumpy, twisty 2 lane roads compared to long straight multi-lane highways.   Home is on a narrow backroad in the middle of the country side with stunning views all around.
 

Jo's parents have a big vegetable garden so we were treated to fresh vegetables and plenty of home cooking courtesy of Jo's mum.  Something Jo had been eagerly awaiting for a while ;)

 

During our road trip of the US we sent a postcard back from every National Park and were reminded of our great adventure by the line of postcards hanging up in the kitchen:

During our brief visit we managed to see Jo's parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and nieces and nephews.  For those that don't know there's enough to keep you occupied for a week ;)  After all that we it the road again, next stop UK.
