This has been the theme of my weekend :)  Two of my dear friends came to visit me from Nepal...Leah and Jenn!  We met two years ago at some classes in Pennsylvania and found that we only lived about 90 miles away from each other in Tennessee.  Since meeting and all moving away, we have remained close friends, and so our reunion was so great when I picked them up at the airport on Friday morning (way before the sun came up)!

Friday I had the task of keeping them awake until evening so they could adjust to the time change, so we walked all over Dublin...of course with a necessary stop at Starbucks.  We also had to make a quick stop at the store for gloves and hats...(I told you it was freezing here!)

Saturday we visited Kilkenny.  This has quickly become one of my favourite towns near Dublin.  They enjoyed their first tour of a European castle!  Then we went for coffee before heading home.  So much talking and laughing along the way...such an encouragement.  Still several more days to their visit, so more fun to come!

You should really consider the tour guide thing. The folks in Kilkenny probably know you pretty well by now :-)

Hey, I recognize those Starbucks tables!!! They are the same ones as here...I'm being initiated into the Starbucks club...Thank God for frappuccinos ( I can't even spell the word!) but I think I'm going to get brave and try hot chocolate from there next! I go to my first Senders group this Tuesday night!! Looking forward to it on your behalf!!
