Here in Skerries!!!

I've made it!!! I'm still a bit shell shocked, but am trying to get acquainted as quickly as possible! The kids and I went for a walk today and it was "fecking cold" the town is straight out of a movie set! I'm not kidding. I can't believe that people carry on their daily lives in such a beautiful place. Do they even realize how amazing this little town is? I haven't seen much in the way of "night life" yet, but just emailed an au pair who has been here for a few months and hope that she will show me around. I'm going to try and make it into Dublin this weekend. If not, next weekend for sure! I'm still working out the schedule w/ the kids and hope to get in to a routine fairly soon! The family seems anxious for me to begin driving. I'm pretty nervous about it, b/c if you have seen how small the roads are there is not much room for error. Coming from Texas where you routinely have 6 lane highways to a small coastal town in Ireland w/ barely there roads, you tend to be a little weary about driving. Oh yeah, and don't forget that they drive on the left! Haven't gotten use to that yet! Here are some pictures of my room and some pictures of the town. Not very many, I had the kids with me and could only snap a few and had to take them very quickly!!!

More Later!...I'm trying to remember all of the slang that I can. Here are some words that have come up so far.

Sausie - Sausage

Plasters - Band aids

Many others ....just can't remember right now!
