Countdown to Home

Hello hello!

After being here for almost 3 weeks, we are feeling very settled in!

On Sunday, Faith and I took a trip in to Bantry, a quaint little town (but what isn't quaint here?) to the west of Clonakilty. After driving for less than an hour we watched the landscape change from farm land to a more tree covered landscape. Bantry is a peninsula right on Bantry Bay, and though the weather wasn't 100% in our favor it was still a wonderful day. We got lunch, spent time walking around, went to a beautiful estate with fabulous gardens... And in typical Rigel and Faith fashion (we go by 'Faigel' now, by the way) ended up in a cafe reading our books.


Faith's best statue impersonation!

Lydia came and picked us up. We went home and spent the night with our lovely family.

Tomorrow, we have a beach day! Thursday will be full of picking flowers, and Friday will be preparation for a wedding on Saturday! All hands on deck for this one.
