Here it is... my last day of official Sabbatical ending with my journey to Ireland. This morning I head for home on the 7 hour flight to Chicago. The people of Ireland are the nicest people on the planet. They continually say "cheers" as a "hello", "goodbye," or "thank you."
Twenty things, (real or imagined?) which I have noticed:
1. Children in Ireland behave and listen to their parents
2. Skinny jeans of all colors are big!

11. There are no billboards to invade the bea utiful nature.
12. Beaches surround the island, but are too cold to go to which keeps people away which keeps them pristine.
13. The Irish love their tea & coffee, taking 10:00 break
14. Ireland has 40 shades of green!
15. There are no billboards but A LOT of rocks!
16. There are A LOT of sheep!

18. People walk, ride bikes or take public transit
19. There are no metal guard rails to prevent you from falling of the road/cliff and roads are very thin so 2 buses cannnot pass each other.
20. Ireland is a gorgeous country & I am so fortunate to have the gift of visiting!
