for christmas gerry and i gave his dad a trip to cong. on thursday we packed up the car and headed first galway and then to cong. in case you're not an expert on cong, it's where a john wayne movie called The Quiet Man was filmed.
The Quiet Man is gerry's dad's favourite movie so we treated him to a couple of days of rain and wind seeing the locations of the movie and a night at The Quiet Man B&B which was full of movie stills, posters and quotes. Gems from the movie include: You're the woman of the house. Where's mae tae? (Where's my tea?) and A man would have to be a sprinter to catch his wife in a bed like that.
i'd definitely call gerry's mom less of a fan of that movie. i think we were mostly just along for the ride.
tonight is a family dinner at a restaurant in carrickmacross. tomorrow we're off to dublin.
