First Impressions!

Began the day late as we were all a bit wrecked by a long day of travel. Looked at two apartments--small but near ODC's school (Older Dreadful Creature). Two unsolicited remarks that St. Maries is a great school and they were surprised we got her in. Fashion wise, Cork makes Seattle look like Milan--must have been a huge air drop of track suits. The people seem very stern and suspicious but met a bar owner and his family as well as a barista who were quite nice--no one walks around with lattes here--a bit refreshing. Well, it's pouring rain and I am off to walk the city without CW and DCs--and maybe a pint.
