I am jealous! I want to there some day. Do a little family searching while I visit. So many places to go, and so little vacation and money that I have spread them out over a few years. (Quite a few years!)

Somebody's been watching The Quiet Man too much. Irish people can carry a good conversation, but none of my friends argue any more than my American friends...

In my family at the dinner table, we called it a conversation too.
To the casual observer, it was described as an argument.
