Here we are

Well the day has finally come-we're made it to the belfast area. forgive the lack of caps or correct grammar, but i can't find tons of stuff on this keyboard, despite the fact that it looks just like mine at home. the week in dc was grand, but i'm so glad to be here and somewhat at home. carol's house is really lovely-the colors are very warm, and the kitchen is great.
We flew in from boston last night into the early morning, and mr. e did a wonderful job of sleeping all the way there. once in dublin we had a lovely lady help us find the correct bus, as she was waiting on the same one. margaret, who must be an angel, picked us up at the bus, showed us round, took us to breakfast and the market and then a quick tour of the house. she is awesome. thanks, margaret for everything. i had a tesco grocery drop planned for tonight, and it came right on time. very good news. i am sad to say that any plans i had of dropping weight here will be most hard to do, as the food is fab. i don't know how i've lived 32 years withotu chocolate covered digestives -those whould be cookies to you and me ;) the little one is upstairs watching charlie and lola. as his dvds will not work here, we got a charlie and lola here as well as scoobie-doo. i'll write more tomorrow-and i hope our bodies finally figure out that it's night time here-even if it is the middle of the day back home1

Glad to hear you've made it over this side of the pond safely. You mean to say you don't have choc digestives in the States??? Just don't buy them, it's amazing how quickly you can empty the packet, they are very moreish LOL. We're on Region 2 for DVDs but alot of machines you can buy cheaply now are Region 0 (multi) or can have a code entered to make them play region 1 DVDs.
