Reflections

Below is a map showing our travels since arriving on Sunday, 25th October. We had a great time. Now, sitting and waiting for our London flight, some final reflections:
The Ford Focus is a really good little car.
Nobody says, "to be sure, to be sure".
Ireland is more than green, it is 50 shades of green.
People are super friendly, including fellow travelers.
Our weather was good - 3 days of serious rain in 3 weeks.
Americans are sorry about their election and embarrassed by it.
Pubs were great.
It was more interesting than Lyn expected.
The bits of Northern Ireland we saw were stridently British.
The National Trust is brilliant.
The roads were much better than we expected.
Fried black or white pudding does not work for me.
They eat a lot of fish.
Every meal, except breakfast, seems to come with potatoes cooked in two different ways.
I never thought I'd say this but I've seen enough castles and ruined monasteries for some time.
