dawesberry adventures my view of the big family adventure.

Well, here was the difficult week. You knew all this la dee dah couldn’t go on forever, didn’t you? Well, actually, I’m not going to tell you what happened here, really. Maybe someday, when its not as touchy. Then, you can say, what WAS it that happened in Galway??? And I’ll tell you in person. Here are some of the things that occurred: Van trouble; Bad mean mechanic, with bedraggled pathetic Polish immigrant worker; Good mechanic that was soooooo helpful, gallant, clever. Yeah!!! - he is John Knightly in County Kerry. Don’t miss his dad’s Engine Museum, just look for all the VW’s near Fieries on the way to the Kerry Airport from Dingle; Much festivity in Galway except for Steve and I. Not a great place to drive at this time of the year if you are in any kind of a hurry; Good place to be a tourist at this time of year; Excellent support from all Irish friends! Wow! Beautifully friendly people; BUDGET rental cars are a rip off!!!! We got so screwed at Budget in Galway; Beautiful country! Coonamarra; Another champ, Matt Keane, one of our heros in Galway; Me, wanting NOT to be IN GALWAY. I didn’t even want to say the name of it, I called it “the G place”. Just bad luck for us. Only a few bad apples, there were multitudes of good folk. Thanks, Sharon Shannon, Galway girl; enuf
