dirty. We see a lot of people with bad teeth in Ireland and a lot

of people wearing old shabby or dirty clothes. It seems very

different than the U.S. where you see some of that but not so

much where I live.

No sweater for M so after

checking out some china

shops and buying only a

plastic “Madonna” water

bottle with a screw off

crown for £.75 we run back

to our car in the pouring

rain.

I have an umbrella but the

sidewalk is so narrow that

it is hard to use it. The cars

seem to be going slow and
it appears that the drivers

are trying not to splash us
which is nice. We took

some photos of a street

cleaner who doesn’t look happy about it.

We decide to give up and go back to our B & B. The front door

is locked so we go to the store door and ring the bell. Teresa

comes and lets us in. I buy a can of Diet Club Orange and leave

my umbrella to dry. It is a cute little store with a meat counter,

shelves of canned good and shelves full of boxes and even

newspapers and fresh produce. We sit in the lounge and

Teresa puts on some music and we chuckle as it goes from

lovely relaxing strains to what sounds like an Irish jig. M
