We're in Dublin! We made it here without any crazy mishaps and they let us into the country without too much trouble which is significantly wonderful. The man checking our passports was a little wary- he had never heard of WWOOFing before and found the organization hilarious and slightly suspicious so he took our mug shots and information. So now we are in the system and they can keep an eye on us.
Spent the day walking around parts of Dublin. We toured an old church with a crypt full of mummies underneath that you had to climb down a dark winding staircase to reach. Our tour guide knew we were Americans so asked us about the Yankeys throughout the whole tour. We had crepes (Chad got the 'Irish breakfast crepe,' which justifies having a French meal our first night in Ireland) for dinner and are now going to have to go to bed, as we have both been trying to fight jet lag all day. Love to all.
Hi, Guys! I'm digging your mummy find, but I must admit it wraps my head around a fairly preserved childhood fear that some mummy, somewhere, would continue its interminable, inexorable walk to my front door!! Have great fun. And I'll look forward to more of your discoveries. :) Uncle John
