Norah and the ever-present Purple Ball. The berry-scented (so weird), 1 Euro ball that I bought at the grocery store. It's been to Lisbon and back and goes in the bathtub every night.
My favorite harbour in Dalkey
This is the house we found for Loren and Àgi. Not sure if you two will see this but it's a perfect .1 Acre lot right near Bono, on Vico Road, with a garden! Let's just go take a look...
Making our way over the train tracks to......
HERE! This is a sweet winding path that goes all the way down to a popular swimming spot. It's about 14 degrees here (maybe 65 degrees) and there are 15 people swimming below in the freeeezing waters. It's a real thing here. People swim all winter so 14 degrees is "summer" for them. Also, interestingly, we happened to find the 'swimming hole' where many people like to swim in the buff (and then sit on the wall and eat their sandwiches in the same 'birthday suit').
Mi Familia
Gorgeous flower just over the cliff edge.
Flowers on cliff, looking down toward the swimming area. If you reeeealllly zoom in, you might see a nakey-bear (as we call them).
We picnicked (?) in a bed of these clovers.
Look at those Feetsies!
And this, my friends, is our village in the Spring. I've been told it becomes a mad-house in the summer but I had no idea it would start this early. I can't even imagine what it'll look like here in June or July. Below is a better shot: This is no festival or "event" - just a normal Sunday afternoon.
As a comparison - here is the East Pier in December. Those people on the left are only there because they are a "boot camp" workout group. Otherwise, there were maybe 6 other people on the entire 2 mile pier. See above for stark difference between Dun Laoghaire Winter and Spring. =)

Those are some sensible footwear you guys are sporting. Looked like a lovely day. I check your weather every day, as well as Kelowna, Houston (my bestie lives there), just to see how everyone is faring. Now the question is, who will be the bravest to take a swim!!
Aunt Rosie... that is so cruel! Burn! =)
I know, we're HUGE nerds. Keep in mind though, we walk near 5 miles a day so there are no 'cute' shoes with that kind of distance. =) Sadly, these ARE my cute walking shoes. =) haha! To their credit, they're Clarks, and they're dark blue instead of black annnndd, in the right lighting, they could be cute European shoes and not orthopedic shoes. =)
Aunt Betty: That's so cute! I had no idea these were a 'thing'. Who knew? But, mannn, does she love that little thing.
