This past weekend Sara and I spent our long weekend in Cork, Ireland. Our friend Ana who is studying abroad in Granada for a year has family friends who moved to Cork Ireland about 3 months ago. The husband, Patrick, was born and raised in Indiana and his wife, Clina, was born in Dublin Ireland. Patrick was an emergency room nurse at Community North and his wife, Clina, is an engineer of some sort. So, when Clina didn't get the promotion she had hoped for back in Indy, the opportunity to relocate back to Ireland became available. Soo.. they all jumped ship and now there is a whole household of Hoosiers living in Passage West (Cork) Ireland!! I am so grateful that we got to stay with them. As for Ireland itself, the pictures are all I can say about it and that I will definitely be going back sometime soon.
On our way back we also spent a little time in Malaga, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. We toured his childhood home, but we weren't allowed to take pictures. The museum filled with his artwork was closed because this past Monday was a national holiday in Spain.
