Host 3: Planes, trains, automobiles, and...boats?!
Hi all. Not much has been going on. We've been working most days which hardly feels like work. Tawnie has mostly been doing homework and watching Pride and Prejudice in her free time. I've been reading, applying for jobs back home, and surfing the internet more than I would like, seeing as I'm in France and all.
The rentals are all filled. Everyone came Thursday and they all leave Sunday except for one family leaving Saturday. They were all quiet last night and I've hardly noticed them during the day. Suzanne and Simon are going to be out of town from Saturday night until Monday, so Tawnie and I will be left to run the place and see the guests off.
Other than that, we're just enjoying the chickens, the beautiful views, and not having much to worry about. Even Tawnie's homework got less stressful after an hour or so long chat with her professor on Skype. Things are good.
On the horizon we've booked a ferry from Cherbourg, France to Dublin, Ireland! We leave at 16:30 on November 30th and arrive at noon on December 1st. On the way to Cherbourg we're planning to stay a night or two in Bordeaux and/or La Rochelle. We've had fun with BlaBlaCar, so that will hopefully be our mode of transportation.
Once to Dublin we'd either like to
A.) Stay a night or two there, then stay a couple of nights in Galway. Or,
B.) Helpx somewhere near Galway or Dublin.
It all depends on when we want to come home, which we still haven't yet decided. In the next week or so we should probably have some clarity.

Heya! Hopefully this finds you. I'm so excited for you guys! Ireland seems magical. I look forward to your homecoming. However, stay as long as you can, man!
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn! Luckily staying or coming home both have a ton of positives. Either way we're happy.
