Today I told an Irish dude that I was from the US. He asked me if I knew one of his friends from Chicago. I didn't.

Last full day in Ireland... Definitely not ready to come home and start paying for this ridiculous trip, ha.

Having an excellent dinner at Nimmos in Galway. Thanks for the solid suggestion, @blaine!

"where are you from?" "America" "oh yeah? California?" "nope" "Boston?" wtf at those guesses, haha

Sittin on a pub patio in Galway waiting on some oysters and a pint of Guinness. Beautiful weather today.

The other Americans out here are really, really embarrassing. :(

Just had lamb roast that came with fries, mashed and baked potatoes, ha. Now, listening to some traditional Irish music in a tiny pub.

Kari just worked up the courage to drive. Eep!

Standing on the ledge of the cliffs of moher.

I'm on a boat and... I'm in my car and...

Onto doolin!

Took tonight off to relax, eat pizza, skype, and upload some photos. First 4 days of vacation pics are here: derek.broox.com/photos/ireland

Hey family and friends. Video chat with us sometime today. We'll be online for the next few hours. Skype: dbroox. iChat: brooxhome

UK focus > US focus. Also, the BMW x1 is dope.

Apparently you can shut off UK cars without them being in park. And apparently they don't roll down the hill when not in park. Whew.

Driving around the ring of Kerry. Some of these roads are hilariously small.

Uhhh, something bad is going on in my sinuses. Counting on UK sized bottled water and emergen-c to prevent vacation sickness.

"I saw a ferrari and a homeless guy on the same street. that's not very nice, is it?" -an Irishman telling me about his 1st visit to the US

Driving in Ireland is a blast. For real. Curves!
