Well today could not have gotten off to a better start as Ireland defeated Italy to advance to the quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup. Not only did they advance from their group, but they topped the group, which included rugby giants Australia. Now we play Wales in the next game with a place in the semi-finals at stake. We have the team to do it and all we need now is to get the breaks that you always need in games that are bound to be close run contests. These games are being played in New Zealand where there is massive support for the Irish due to the huge number of Irish emigrants that have settled in both New Zealand and Australia. Every game there seems like a home game with the Irish green on view all over the stadiums. What a wonderful dream it would be if they could only go all the way....and they could.
Yesterday we visited the wonderful Dingle peninsula and i will have some great photos to post as soon as i get a chance...hopefully later today (Sunday). This morning Carolyn and Bill are visiting Muckross House, that stately home in Killarney which is famous for the visit of Queen Victoria in the eighteen hundreds. I will also be posting pictures from there, so make sure you come back later.
