Limerick

Guess what? More rain, ya betcha. "Unsettled" has been the description of the wethaer thus far ie it rains everyday in bursts, making it impossible to have the correct clothes on at all times. Mylene catches the bus the final 40km and the race is on.... bike vs Bus Eireann. Granted I have a 50 minute head start, but still I arrivein Limerick just 10 minutes after Mylene.
Awas, our CS host for the evening, hails from Saudi Arabia, but tells us how he fell in love with Ireland whilst doing a Ph.D. here. "Its always a party when it rains in Saudi Arabia", so the persistant rain does not bug him out and he loves the Irish personality. His set up is a little unusual in that he has bought a houe in Limerick, where he lets his guests stay, but he spends his nights sleeping in the university campus. Odd, but it means that he can have more guests at any one time. As we fill up on pizza and 7-Up, we chat late in the evening.
