hot to cold

we arrived in sneem, ireland yesterday night after a 19 hour journey from istanbul. our plane stopped in madrid where they made us run around in circles for no apparent reason when all we wanted to do was sleep on the floor since we woke up at 3:30am for the airport cab. then we arrived in dublin and took a cab to the train, then david and kim picked us up and another hour to the little house hannah's family rented.

the worst part of yesterday was that hannah had food poisoning the night before we left and i was even sicker than usual so we were a total mess. both of us felt like we had been beaten up. apparently last night our alarm went off and david had to come in and turn it off because we didn't hear it. he thought about seeing if we were alive but assumed we probably both weren't dead.

so, ireland is beautiful and green and misty and cold in total contrast to turkey. we are going to buy wool sweaters and hats.

hannah is sitting next to me, has approved this message and has nothing to add.
