Had a fun night out with friends….great curry for dinner and then to a new pub (Builders Arms). “Keith is my Xanax” turned out to be the quote of the evening. We promised that we’d share broadly.

After two weeks of traveling we were ready for some relaxation when Christmas arrived. We had planned to do a Christmas weekend pub progressive but instead we visited just two of our favorites. First up was The Castle, across the street from our flat. We booked a Christmas Eve dinner there.

Our second day in Dublin was even better than the first. I had to work until about noon, but then Stef and I went to our friend’s parents’ house for a visit and lunch. The McCarthys pulled out all the stops – we had a wonderful lunch complete with whisky and wine. Colleen’s apple tarts [...]

I just returned from three fantastic days in Lisboa. Lots to tell but first I must get through 600+ images (Lisboa is picturesque). Once I am done with that, the posts will come. Cheers!
