AKA Dave's Birthday Whale and Dolphin Spotting Tour. 11 of us plus guide Dave loaded into a Land Rover Defender and headed to the Connemara region of Ireland. We had the greatest time and met some really wonderful people.

July in Baile Atha Cliath
Just in case you don't read Irish, that means Dublin :)
July was lovely, loads of fantastic weather, the beginning of 2 day weekends for Travis (about 1/2 way through the month) and my return back from US/Mexico.
2nd slide show - Kennon and Jennifer's wedding in Mexico, some time at home in Denver, and getting to use our Santa Fe opera tickets that we bought before we knew we were moving to Dublin (thanks for going with me Melinda).

June in Dublin and trip to London
In May and June Travis was working 6 days a week so our 'weekend' was Sunday only. Here are some of our adventures around town and in Ireland on his day off.
We also learned about bank holidays, three day weekends throughout the summer, and took advantage of one for a quick trip across the pond to London.

Everyday life and Home Sweet Home
Here are photos of our apartment in the town of Blackrock, which is part of Dublin. There are also pictures of the town, our shopping centre, train station, where Travis works (I can see it from the train station and our bedroom window!) Pretty much our everyday normal things. We have some nice views out our windows and get lots of good light.

Dublin first weeks
We're in Ireland now!
It's very rainy in Dublin, and Travis is working 6 days a week so our exploration time has been limited. Plus we are looking for a place to live, etc. I have done some exploring on my own when the weather has been good, I really liked Howth! Below, the first pictures of our new life in Ireland.
