Well what a boring title for a blog piece but we have different stories today. Firstly the Boisseneault's have taken their charges down to Maryland for the week. So Aine, Blaithin and Ryan have had to brave the heatwaves most of the east coast is having (apart from us here in Maine...typical!). Here is Liz's report on what has been happeneing so far,
Went to Washington yesterday and got caught in nasty thunder storms however we ended up taking shelter under a tent. They had just finished a folk festival. The irony? The tent we ended up under was the NORTHERN IRELAND tent complete with a mock house with a mural from the bogside in Derry. We also ended up meeting people from the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra. Nice lady from Antrim. They had a big Titanic exhibit and were promoting the Titanic Quarter in Belfast. The kids liked Washington. We rode the Metro (underground) and went to an"Irish" restaurant called Kelly's Irish Times which is next to the Dubliner. They are owned by the Donlan brothers who hate each other. LOL We went to the Air and Space museum as well as the Museum of Natural History.
We are for Baltimore today to the Zoo and Science center.
Meanwhile back in Maine Phyllis and I went to Old Orchard Beach to meet up with some of the young people, I had a delightful lunch with Niamh before we all wandered Maine's equivalent of Portrush
Niamh getting some dessert.
Mustapha and me enjoying the view.
Brett chilling,
Me, Mustapha and Aimee,
Does Phyllis' bum look big in this??
We then went to do a bit of shopping, Brett found this cheeky little number,
The scarey thing is he knew exactly which size to choose!!
Mustapha also tried getting in on the game,
doesn't work quite as well on you Mustapha, that colour doesnt match your eyes!!!
Later on that evening we visited the Moreau family where Janelle and Jordan are staying. Apart from sleeping in late they are having a busy time. They have been to watch David, their host dad, stock car race and are heaing off to do some go-karting soon.
We had excellent dessert there as these remnants show, the trifle was great (prepared by host granny Diane). Janelle aand Jordan had cooked brownies...in fact from what I can work out host mum Laura has nothing to do in the kitchen anymore!!! (just joking)
mmmmm mmmmm mmmm yummy yum yum
From top left, David, Derek, Laura,Diane, Janelle, Jordan and Marissa.
More blog soon.
