And 2

More rain: alternatively pouring and sprinkling, though by now, mid afternoon, it has cleared up a bit. Check out these random ruins Richard and I noticed off the side of the road, after a walk to a nearby shopping center.

We're celebrating the 4th at the home of the dean of Limerick's law school. With all the dampness I doubt they'll be any fireworks. Apparently this weekend, Thursday through Sunday, the whole group is heading to Dublin. Should be a great time. Otherwise, not much else to report.

Number of times I've seen the sun: 2.
