Good-bye sweet Waterford, and hello Dublin!!! After a few drizzly days, the morning welcomed us with warm golden sunlight for our last day at Newtown. Sad…but everyone was so very excited for Dublin…

Good morning!! Sad news…today is our last full day in Newtown. 🙁 But, happy news…tomorrow we head off to Dublin!!!! Today was another class day, and also the day when the kids gave their presentations on Irish-Americans…
