As all good things must come to an end so our time in Ireland has ended. We had a very educational and engaging stay with the Cronin family. They have been most gracious and kind to us. I hope that the work that we have done for them will help bring them a step closer to their goal of self sustainability and increase the quality of food that they eat.
To Regi and I, this type of vacation is a far superior way to see a country. You get to see the famous landmarks and interesting places but you also get to live with the people of the land and learn what daily life is for them. We get to do the day to day activities with them and build relationships with them. There is no way we could ever do that on a short site seeing trip.
The next step in our journey is London to visit Regi’s cousin Jolanta. Jolanta is studying in London but she is originally from Lithuania. We plan to stay for only two days but we hope to catch a stunning play called “Love Never Dies”. It’s a continuation of the play “Phantom of the Opera” and the review looked very captivating. London is known to be the most expensive city in Europe but on the positive side all the museums are free to the public. We plan to stop by the Tate Museum that contains a lot of the artists that I studied in my art history classes.
