Mom and Dad in Ireland

Mom and Dad (Asa and Verla this time) came over for a visit to finish off their trip to Europe... I took them Hiking in Glendalough on a beautiful day. They also went out on a couple bus tours to Kerry in the south and Giant's Causeway in the north. It was great to have family in town again as we never tire of the visitors from back home. A few pictures below are a mix taken by Mom and me. Click through the first to see the rest.

Volvo Ocean Race

OK, we've got some serious catching up to do.... Reaching all the way back to the first weekend of June we went down to Galway to see the send off of the Volvo Ocean Race. I was a good fun festive scene. Some boats even seemed to have groupies that traveled port to port... The Irish contingency was the Green Dragon boat which was a joint venture with the Chinese.
