I'm in Ireland at the moment, sitting in what appears to be a converted horse barn on the University of Galway campus, waiting for Amynah to finish delivering a lecture on [fill in Amynah-specific science jargon here]. So far, we've driven around Connemara, eaten a lot of seafood, enjoyed the excellent hospitality of our Irish friends, and watched a lot of rugby.
Tomorrow, we're driving to Roscommon, in order that I may visit the land that spat out my ancestors with some violence back in 1847, then heading South. Regular updates for you to ignore with recommence on my return to Strasbourg.

I just finished reading a book of Irish history loosely disguised as a novel. Tell us more about your family history - so I can make smart comments with me new knowledge.
Smart to blog while you're there in the moment. I have several more stories to tell about my time in Ireland, but the farther I get from the actual trip, the lower my motivation becomes to actually blog about it...
