According to the Odessa American, after I kissed the Blarney Stone, I ironically LOST my gift of gab. Almost, but not quite. I lost the gift of broadband internet. Try uploading hi res photos with dial up!
With a decent Wi-Fi, I can make this post all about wrapping up this fantastic trip the Permian Orchestra and Band took to Ireland. 9 days flew by so fast, but we accomplished so much as a music program. Several "BIG" events took place: Marching in a foreign country, performing in 1,000 year old cathedrals, learning that 2 weeks without rain in Ireland is a severe drought, the Irish really REALLY like potatoes and that if you fly near thunderstorms, you will be diverted! Seriously, the Irish people were the friendliest hosts we could have hoped for. Their open nature and willingness to make us feel at home was a blessing. Thank you to DC Festivals, DC Tours & Travels, Atlantic Tours, the parents and students and the many people involved in making this a wonderful trip.
