Our short nights were catching up with us, and we decided to try to sleep in. I had my eye mask beside me to pull on when the sunlight started creeping in... which was just after 5 a.m. I actually slept until almost 8! That is soooo late for me. But I woke up feeling so refreshed and invigorated! Terrance had been cooking pancakes and they smelled like heaven. Diane and I poured ourselves a cup of coffee and went outside to take in the morning. The view that met us was beyond any expectation that we had a glimpse of the night before. Sheep softly baaing in the meadow beside us, and the wide open expanse of green, dotted with houses and church steeples. Huge mountains loomed in the distance.
Brian and David got up and joined us outside for a delicious breakfast feast. The pancakes were literally some of the best I have ever had. We added fresh berries, both blueberries and raspberries (that are HUGE compared to what we get in the states!) fresh butter, and real maple syrup. A glass of orange juice and more coffee and cream just nailed down an amazing morning. Terrance walked us around their immense property, showing us many of the upgrades and decorative touches he has added to their home.
Great company, beautiful scenic view, the sun shining (STILL!) and our morning could not have been better. We are sad to leave this amazing country of Ireland, but we will have fond memories of this place and the new friends we have made will be with us for our lifetime.
Off to Edinburgh, Scotland!!
