- the flight in was fine, aside from a crazy stewardess and the people in front of us being escorted off by police. as for the flight back.. i don't want to talk about it.
- half of the population is extremely nice. the other half seems to be well-versed in the 'we don't take kindly ta yer kind' slow turn and stare.
- dude. the drinks are so cheap. a round of four gin & tonics came to $8. after frequenting places like anvil here in houston my brain can't comprehend that kind of math. also, we played ping pong in a bar that was previously a meat locker.
- fun fact: i don't ever match my socks. (i can't be bothered.) this became painfully apparent and a frequent topic of conversation for the ENTIRE family when we arrived and were instructed to take our shoes off in the house because of the new carpet. GOOD ONE.
- there is a blarney stone in the town square. here's hoping for good luck.
i will guarantee you that within 24 hours, the entire town knew that there was some crazy tourist chick out taking pictures on main street.
- most of the businesses are two-in-one. for example, there's the motel/laundromat and a coffee shop that also does furniture restoration and sells wood carving tools. perhaps not the best idea to be whittling while you have the caffeine shakes?
- my first ever black friday shopping experience took place at true value hardware.
- the accent is very slight. disappointment!
- sean's dad built an exact replica of the little house on the prairie in their backyard. it's impressive.
