As mentioned in our last blog, Bob and I took the train from Dublin to the small fishing community of Howth for a lovely day trip before leaving Ireland. While in Howth, we spent most of our time hiking the Bog of Frogs trail around the coast and interior and then walking the promenade along Dublin Bay. Lovely!





We landed in the US last Wednesday for a quick overnight stay in Dallas before flying to Des Moines on Thursday. We had a fun day with Bob’s sister Cheryl’s family who have been taking great care of our car, mail, and what remains of our personal goods. They were awesome about letting us do laundry, repack, etc. before we headed out Friday to begin our journey to Tucson via Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The following photos prove that we aren’t in the UK anymore.









We have officially begun our Tucson (really Green Valley) house sit. More on that later.
