Country Mouse Synopsis Day Three



Notes of Importance:
1. Road Rules: Driving etiquette is different in Ireland. Apparently you just pull out in front of people and they don't seem to mind, there are no left or right turns just round-abouts, there are no road signs and cars take turns going down narrow roads and even when you're driving down the wrong side of a narrow street people don't honk- they just look at you funny.
2. Traffic Calming = Split Lanes (we think), Loose Chippings= Gravel, Diversion = Detour (this one was somewhat important)
3. Country mouse has to agree with City Mouse that it is only by the grace of God that we made it across the country today. I don't know how many times I was a bit confused on the direction we should go and then everything worked out alright.
4. The Mice want to give a shout out to mom Z because she is the only one emailing them.
5. Country Mouse likes potatoes, but she doesn't want to eat any for a few weeks after she returns home.
6. Country Mouse thinks her grandma must be Irish because she likes to eat like the Irish.
7. Apparently Country Mouse looks 12. This is in no way an insult to City Mouse who is not her mother.
8. Ireland has crazy skies like the skies over Winona Lake before a storm. And purple moutains. And sheep. And cool stone fences. And really soft green grass. And castles and cool stone structures all over.
9. Taking pictures in a graveyard should by no means be considered by anyone as creepy.
10. Country Mouse has irregular shaped ears because she cannot seem to fit earplugs in them.
