Michaela is Off to Mexico City!

These, my friends, are "Potty Stars" and they represent the amount of times Norah has gone potty, on her potty, in the last week! Woohoo! This is a huge development for us. =) It's been a big week people, a big week!

Cute boatload of mini-sailors (all 3-4 years old) in their Pirate ship, coming to see the Seals at the Fish Shop

On our way to the city for our friend Michaela's going-away party. I met Michaela in the running group when it first started and we became great friends. Unfortunately (for me), Michaela decided to take a teaching job in Mexico City for 2 years and so we had to say goodbye after our 7 months of running together. Michaela is from Vancouver, BC, so we always had a lot to talk about. She's been here in Ireland for 8 years though and was ready for an adventue. 
A beautiful day to be walking in the city centre


Paul and Michaela (another running buddy)
Through her music connections, Michaela met and became friends with, this man on the right - the Ambassador to Mexico (in Ireland). And on the left, is Hugo, the owner of Azteca Cafe and our incredible host for the night. 




I don't know what Wayne is doing here. Please tell me, you're not trying to 'squeeze' the amabassador's head in the picture. =)

So fun to watch Trad Music in Ireland, in a Mexican Restaurant - some of which is played by the owner of said Mexican Restaurant, who plays the Irish Flute.
