So it is very friggen early. Too early to be up during my vacation, but we have a long day of driving ahead of us today. We left Kaylene & Kelly to their own devices in Belfast as the rest of us stayed with Patrick which means we have to drive the 15-20 minutes back into the heart of Belfast in order to pick up the chitlins. I think perhaps the only thing keeping me in good spirits this morning is that I woke up to my t-rex duvet cover....that and the sheer fact that I'm still in Ireland!!
So staying with Patrick has been awesome, not just because he has an amazing job in football, or because he helped arrange a visit with Belfast's Lord Mayor, or because of the insightful tour of the Belfast Murals...no, it was partially awesome because Patrick has a normal human size shower! Seriously. You try to take a shower in a stall so tiny that your butt opens the shower door accidentally when you try to wash your legs (not to mention attempting to shave!!) While my shower was frigid by the time I was able to rinse the shampoo from my hair I didn't give a hoot!! I even shaved for the 1st time on the trip. Yes, I realize this is probably more information than you actually wanted, but seriously it was totally exciting!!
Anyway, we had to get up early to pick up the chitlins...so early that we in fact beat Patrick up for the morning...and he had to still go to work. After we all said our goodbye with heavy hearts, we made the drive back into Belfast. Thankfully by this time we knew how to get where we were going! Unfortunately for Kaylene & Kelly this meant that we were actually on time to pick them up. I'll give you 2 guesses as to who wasn't quite ready by the time we got to the hotel. Luckily for them the hotel had a restaurant in it so we all got breakfast while giving them some more time to finish their morning routines. I even got them a care package of cross ants & muffins since they were missing breakfast.
.....and thus the circus was back on the road!
