Traveling from the Emerald Isle to the Republic of France

Ireland was next and boy was the food delicious scoring solid 4's on our scale.

I tried the chilled potato leek soup with an Irish cheddar cheese stick (yes a ridiculously long name). And he tried the boxty with bacon chps and kerrygold garlic and fresh herb butter.

We wanted to share a frozen Bailey's irish coffee...both for refreshment and to ward off the humid air, but alas, their ice-maker was broken.

After that we visited Nemo and friends. I've never been to this part of the park before so it was extra fun for me. :) We saw dolphins, sharks, clownfish, blue tangs, and even a scuba diver in a tube.


Then we were off to England taking pics in the telephone booths, swinging from the light posts, pretending to enter closed cottages.

We visited on shop that had a bunch of Alice in Wonderland items in it...and who should be there but the only woman who is "practically perfect in every way". Mary Poppins! :) She was beautifully dressed in what I call her "painting outfit" the one she wears when she, the kids and Bert jump into his chalk painting.


Crossing the bridge we made our way to France stopping to watch a mime show. Which I actually had a small part in! The mime chose me as his "chair sitter" until later on in the show when he used that chair to continue his trick. It was fun!

Dan bought us coupe de sorbets champagne which we didn't really like that much but it was a nice frozen treat while I watched the show.
