reflections on Ireland

It rains a lot.
The pace of life is perfect.
People, generally, are friendlier.
It's a very different country; we just speak the same language.
Everyone wants to talk about your children.
There's a lot of swearing.
There's a lot of drinking.
They really do consume a hell of a lot of Guinness. (I'd guess 85% of most drinks ordered in most places we visited was a pint of Guinness.)
The countryside is beautiful.
There seem to be more Australians, Americans and Germans than there are Irish.
