The week before we left for Ireland, I was picking up some supplies for the trip, and my usual skin care product was kind enough to come with a free disposable camera. So of course I packed it. We forgot about it until about halfway through the trip, when we brought it out and it became our leave-sitting-in-the-car camera. It was very handy, because it's often that one sees something pretty cool that doesn't inspire pulling over and diggging out the good camera. That is what we used the Olay camera for, and here are the pictures we took with it.

Thierry took this picture to demonsrate his observation that people in Ireland let their cars get very dirty. He found this delightful.

This is just a beautiful church, which were everywhere.

Just a typical Irish town.

I asked Thierry to take this picture, because these signs were just killing me. Doesn't that look like DO NOT ENTER? It actually means “National speed limits apply” and one is expected to drive right through them.

A double-decker bus, which Thierry thought was nifty. It reminded me of my friend Jason, with whom I used to sing that Smiths song: “And if a double-decker bus...kills the both of us...”
|
The only McDonalds we saw in Ireland, thank god. So strange-looking with a castle in the background.

Typical Irish road. Narrow, curvy, frightening. Those hedges brushed the sides of your car all the time. You get used to that brushing sound. Well, not used to it, really. Once, while Thierry was driving, he caught me leaning dramatically to the right. He told me I may as well stop because “it's not a bobsled.”

A very old hospital somewhere along the route.

I won't tell what I said to make him laugh like this.
