Arrival

I arrived in Shannon Airport this morning at 6:40a.m. local time. We were immediately exposed to the exquisite Irish accent when an airport worker boarded our plane to welcome us. After passing through customs, tracking down my luggage, and exchanging my U.S. Dollars for Euros I stopped at an airport coffee shop and got into a lengthy discussion with the barista. Apparently her daughter studied at the University of Galway and she told me all about different places to look for in Galway. Sorry this is a brief and boring post but, well, I still haven't left the airport. There isn't much else to say.
