Monday, April 9 Dublin airport is one of just a few in the world that has advanced customs in place - meaning that we went through US customs right before we entered the terminal to board our plane, instead of having to do it on arrival in Washington, DC. This was great for not having to deal with a customs delay while tying to catch our next flight, but the tiny US passport stamp is totally showed up by the big green Irish one above it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1525745298272-XAW0M7Q9JJIJJYUWEKRY/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - All good things...

(This is probably not true. Still, 100% of the cathedrals we visited had models of themselves inside, so what would you have us make of this?). The model gives a good sense of how the headstones completely cover the grounds of the church, which is in fascinating contrast to most of the U.S. The most recent date we found was from the 2000s, albeit this was one line on a family plot marker. The actual graves were much more interesting than the model, but we didn't get any photos of them, so you're have to take our word against this model builder's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523382130575-GQO7W7C20MK2SOKAJM8L/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The town names in Ireland were making us laugh during our driving - Brian kept yelling “THURTLES!” (like turtles) because he couldn't read whilst driving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524021754553-KUTDZYDD5F017KMOLCOZ/fullsizeoutput_3975.jpeg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th On the way home, we stopped to pick up the gold at the end of this rainbow near a roundabout, Brian’s favorite part of driving in UK and Ireland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524021834922-S6MXYZ16V28NI858GLBH/fullsizeoutput_3a0e.jpeg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523382115891-ULDY5BG1RXKRL9Z47N21/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523930650516-AXJEXN3I0EMBAGIWW8L7/uTgFrZO%25RXW6CO5%2BIQc9Bg.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th A few blocks later we passed a wedding in-progress at St. Mary's Cathedral (Roman Catholic), built in 1857. Did we mention that we heard on the tour yesterday morning that 90% of Ireland's residents identify as Catholic? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523382022318-TST9EJKNPF42KCQ7QEN4/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Remember the excavation in Christchurch Cathedral in Waterford that we saw yesterday, showing the columns between windows of the previous church built in the 1200s? Were you wondering, "how did they figure out when that was built?" Well, here's the same detail, from the part of the Rock built in the 13th century! Conveniently it's easier to see here, without another church built on top of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523380732752-BLVHAUTG3WK3PMQ7U8D2/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Just as cats seem to be drawn to Coco, so are dogs to Brian. :-) Here’s Elliott asking for a scrap of food without success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523849152656-QNZWZ5JCJD4RORL0V437/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th But wait, there’s more! St. Canice’s Cathedral also houses a model of Kilkenny from 1642 (during the English Civil War), when it was a walled city. Again, St. Canice’s is featured here to scale, at the upper right. This model is about 1/8 the scale of the first one, leaving it too small to include all of the headstones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524102007116-E6GAYEAAVP7RJAHPXZCE/IMG_0065.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523380753832-DQ2WB4H4DCKSZOJ8V0LI/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523930579895-33G96RVYNMP89S4M4HND/VfSEDooXQnaP4saGrd%258jw.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Taking leave of St Canice's Cathedral (Church of Ireland) at one end of Kilkenny, we immediately walked past St Canice's Parish (Roman Catholic), built from 1824-1839. This was not the same building as the one we just visited, but you could probably throw a bouquet from one of them and hit the other. The wind was not making an April wedding look like a fun time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381588222-N2X211F3LA9IT56W27WP/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Surprisingly, this was the first "American-style" restaurant we saw on our adventures! We'd been expecting to find something worse - this actually looks a lot better than Little Caesar's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381933607-QQ88OLMEKJS5SIVORQSE/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524102265190-A97J6MZFTNMNPD0BZLWK/IMG_0073.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The Celtic crosses that Ireland is known for...and a symbol that you might recognize as the Command key on a Mac keyboard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381239573-V0X1WZ459UMC6OSYWGEJ/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The model is really pretty well done, making Brian wonder who in the clergy was a miniature war-gamer / model railroader. St. Canice’s is in the right foreground here, with its round tower, and Kilkenny Castle is in the distant center of the photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381995114-TNN267WB1H4FZMOV79BH/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524021612213-GDW4FJETHSSFTCJQMOZL/fullsizeoutput_3a0c.jpeg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524102156652-LCLUME9P3ANS0B48CQZ9/IMG_0070.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523380847193-DV51GBX30HVRJD13R9TM/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Today’s excursion will take about two hours each way and fortunately, Kilkenny is a mid-point to Rock of Cashel. It was a wet and rainy morning, and driving was more challenging on narrow, winding, and sometimes soggy country roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381558197-KONUXQ6FJQ13G6H1EO6R/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Having temporarily run completely out of churches for a few blocks, we popped into to a grocery store downtown, where we noticed that some of the staples in Ireland are a little different than in Iowa... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524102217135-JCG8PO7I05P21VBGB2DP/IMG_0071.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381503354-YJ2VIB4OGGECT9MM2DK1/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The gorgeous 1,430-pipe organ, installed as newfangled technology in 1853 for just £600 by a bunch of troublemakers who wanted to crank up the music from German punks like Brahms and Liszt, had just been restored in 2009 for €650,000. Seems fair that if you spend 1000x the purchase price on maintenance you should probably get an upgrade. (Somehow they doubled the number of pipes to 3,000 when they restored it, which sounds like some of Brian’s projects where he takes something apart and ends up with extra pieces when it’s put back together.)   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1524022163632-P2J8SIQ0HRTCEPPMWUEY/lqUCvTQdS7yNkjxkX%2B%2581g.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th It's true, that last photo was not a scale model, it was just a floor plan. Since the Rock of Cashel hasn't had a roof since 1749 thanks to Arthur Price, an early foe of historic preservation, they can't leave the scale model out in the rain, so instead it's found over in the 'new' restored 15th century Hall of the Vicars Choral. There appears to be an allowance in this custom for leaving new additions out of the scale model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381455763-4R9QYZFMR7XQ8ZEN61YO/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Even with the clouds and rain, the stained glass was breathtaking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523382049731-QZB9BFD6GHZX4RUV04YZ/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The scale of Rock of Cashel was very impressive and we tried to capture this with these two photos. Coco had been to Tintern Abbey near Chepstow, Wales, during graduate school back in 2002. This was Brian’s first visit to monastic ruins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381976014-HBK3X5MPTKJFUP24PUE1/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th Like all proper castles in Ireland, St Patrick's Rock of Cashel contains a scale model of itself inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381213111-1KXG6VZKC76DTMS0B8MY/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th The scale of Kilkenny made it easy to walk from one side to another, and at the far end, we decided to go into St. Canice’s Cathedral. It was a nice respite from the rain, but we discovered it has many treasures that stand out. It’s home to some of the finest medieval effigy tombs in Europe; St. Kieran’s Chair which has been in continuous use for 1,500 years in the inauguration of Bishops; and a round tower that is one of only two in Ireland that can still be climbed by the public (we skipped the climb, as the rain and wind that day kept it closed). The tower is 100 feet tall and leans about 2 feet to one side; the foundation is only 18 inches deep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523382082919-7W67TTXKTS8NEGJB7CJY/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523380967937-EOY6SYN7FK10HDFQZ7VT/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to Kilkenny and Rock of Cashel: Friday, April 6th On our drive to see the extraordinary ruins at the Rock of Cashel, we’d see other ruins on the roadside.

Perhaps you noticed the flurry of new posts that morning! :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005731924-G2BBV3ITOD86NOGVABDJ/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Here we are trying to enjoy our picnic and avoid some of the Waterford winds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523006249213-D6WJ2S9I2JBDGC5NWMVS/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th The CNC robot uses almost the same engraving wheels that the traditional handwork does. Brian asked our guide how the decide when to use the robots instead of people, and we didn't really get a clear answer - based on the cuts this machine was making, it appears that they're doing the same kind of work that the humans are. We did notice quite a few younger employees working as craftsmen, and the guide said that they don't struggle as much to find employees as some trades do, so it doesn't seem to be because of that. One possibility that occurred to Brian is that recruiting new people to a factory that has no automation at all might be getting harder, since almost all manufacturers include some level of automation at this point; maybe the machines simply allow Waterford's craftspeople to stay current on that part of the industry. Maybe they allow the humans to go on holiday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523848074114-E5YV4R65DHI4GTC0ARP2/image-asset.jpeg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th A bit of the bread we couldn't stop inhaling, and one of the best beers we had on the trip- a local stout from Waterford's Dungarvan Brewery, roasty and smokey and dry, and a great match for our lamb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005932068-9Q5XLG9WHVVRPZYF7RYF/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Most of the cutting and engraving work at the Waterford plant is still done freehand by master craftspeople. Although this location makes most (or all? we didn't get a definitely answer on this) of the famous trophies and chandeliers that the company is known for, they also make some of the production / retail pieces too, such as certain lines of stemware. Their other plants are in the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, and Germany. The company has a complicated history, including a 100-year gap when there was no glassmaking in Waterford; this wikipedia page agrees with the information we heard on the tour if you're interested. After getting the tour and hearing the storied history of the company, maybe the biggest surprise was that this factory, visitor center and showroom weren't even here 10 years ago! Instead of downtown, it was on the edge of the city from its re-founding in 1947 until 2009, when Waterford Wedgwood Group entered bankruptcy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005821506-6D1XCP80XZN5FYHJWF1D/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381602497-VQU8QJIVZGLH8RKRQNP7/IMG_0062.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Amongst the many trophies and monuments on display in the showroom was this copy of the chalice that was gifted to the U.S. in 2012 to celebrate the President's visit to Ireland in 2011. For signature pieces like this one, the mold for the blown glass is carved by hand from wood and will only be used to make the actual piece and one backup for the company's showroom. For production pieces, the molds are made of cast iron and can be used for decades of production. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522971178114-X2Z2YIYZGAX95NHI4JR1/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005801755-DWHQ9AEW5BGQJU6Z5U7P/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Believe it or not, this foundation from a Viking settlement was found during construction of a shopping mall. We noticed in the UK and Ireland there was a much greater effort to share the findings of archaeological digs at sites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005963779-GQ1VBV1I26TGA45Z3VUU/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th An artisan working on a detailed scene with a handheld etching tool.

We ordered the special, described simply as "Roast shoulder of lamb for two, with mustard & herb"; what they brought to our table was likely the best lamb we have ever had anywhere. The roast must have been 3 pounds, with a crispy bark like good barbecue and just melting off the bones. The green dusting of herbs on top smelled like wasabi, and was spicy and minty; the au gratin and veg were both amazing too. We took more than half of it with us and snacked on it for the next 3 days - our waiter said he hadn't seen anyone finish it yet :) Also their bread was dangerously good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005921255-S7Z6QNJEX37SXEMGZYIG/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th This photo shows about half of the copper wheels available, with several copies of each of the different shapes used for engraving by hand. The wheels themselves have no abrasive on them but are edged with a thick copper band; diamond powder mixed in water then flows over the wheel and provides a continuously new abrasive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381649698-2AJJTYONXRWH9FKNJ8CO/IMG_0063.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th This very detailed piece memorializing Father Mychal Judge, who was the first casualty in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York and whose parents emigrated from Ireland, was one of the largest pieces Waterford has produced. Our guide wasn't sure whether the original is currently in the 9/11 memorial in NYC or at another location, as their staff had heard American tourists claim both versions in the last few weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005985306-P97DKRT4ALYNBDHUR0BH/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th ...and here is the finished bear. It's very sparkly in person and is a little scary, but only because we really didn't want to accidentally knock it over on the way out of the tourist-packed showroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005843088-0FZ1IZ3BPQQSSC4Y0PAT/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Christchurch Cathedral in Waterford features beautifully preserved Rococo plaster ceilings and Waterford crystal chandeliers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005856139-A0KAMLW8XP52CF6KFYQE/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th These panels are enlarged copies of centuries old postcard-paintings, which were made by a man who drew and painted common folk in the city - a very early form of street photography from a time when only the wealthy and powerful would normally have their portraits painted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005890810-TNYFFWOWKUWOFWVV4ANU/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523006009917-I5UP5UNITAZZ1BQE91SV/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th On the other hand, here's the control panel for two of the four CNC cutting stations in this factory. It's not as interesting to watch as even one of the craftspeople are. And no, it's not that MOOG (but Brian thought it might be same one, too). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523381708880-0Q23RPEIB6WCRZTB4EK2/IMG_0064.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th The gift shop at the end of the tour featured many, many breakable things on the edges of tables, and so seemed like a really bad place to bring small children... but we didn't see anyone who looked younger than us. This display was cracking Brian up after we looked at the photos, because there are €200,000 in chandeliers suspended over €50,000 in china and stemware, and the guests are sitting in €50 plastic lawn chairs. This seemed like carrying the "it's crystal clear" metaphor a little too far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523900446881-4ZFSIRVEQB038K37SXCZ/IMG_0957.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th Stopping in for a pint at The Munster Bar (or maybe Fitzgeralds?) on the way to dinner, we saw this bit of history we'd heard on the tour that morning, mounted on the wall above our heads: Thomas Francis Meagher was born in Waterford, created the independent Irish flag of green, white and orange, and went on to organize Irish expats for the Union in the US Civil War, leading to the term "Fighting Irish" in the states. He ended up serving as governor of the Montana Territory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005713065-E5G6PBRMT4DKA6531R89/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th We learned this clock tower, the first public clock in Waterford, was aligned with the docks instead of the streets so that the dock workers would be able to see the time. During our walking tour we learned this is known as the “four face liar,” since the clocks are independently driven and each face tells a bit different time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1523005976616-7234VWCYPOVL21EUVVCV/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Enniscorthy day trip to our own private Waterford: Thursday, April 5th To give an idea of the work that goes into finishing after the glass is blown into shape, here are the three pieces of a 2-foot-tall bear wearing a crystal necklace (which we are pretty sure is their mascot, but that detail got lost between the start of the tour and the pub afterwards... and actually we're pretty sure that their mascot is a seahorse. But let's call it their mascot, regardless, because we can't figure out who else would order a 2-foot tall cut-crystal bear.) https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/4/5/to-enniscorthy-wednesday-april-4th monthly 0.5 2018-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522968058873-1BQ0Q5SXLESRWSUUFWJV/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Rhostrehwfa, Wales To Enniscorthy, Ireland: Wednesday April 4th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522966815377-GRA6JN8SG60JDM86KEVG/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Rhostrehwfa, Wales To Enniscorthy, Ireland: Wednesday April 4th A National Geographic article mentioned some gems in the villages north and south of Dublin.

It seems strange that while the speedometer is only marked in kilometers/hour, and fuel is priced in Euro-cents per litre, the fuel economy is shown in miles per gallon on the dashboard. Strangely, too, the speed limits on the highway here look the same as they do in Britain and Wales, except here they include “km/h”... while in the U.K., where many measures have switched to metric, gas was also sold by the litre, but the speed limit is posted in unitless numbers! :) https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/4/5/in-rhostrehwfa-tuesday-april-3rd monthly 0.5 2018-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522964716060-I7GDOEPDQ3RB4JG0N4E4/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In Rhostrehwfa: Tuesday, April 3rd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522964748867-70FOA7PWL2BETPADR209/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In Rhostrehwfa: Tuesday, April 3rd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522964126414-ZO6UG4ZHD93UNTG155OS/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - In Rhostrehwfa: Tuesday, April 3rd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522964682679-GMXJZMSTF7N7ABMKPBTR/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - In Rhostrehwfa: Tuesday, April 3rd This inn and restaurant, known since 1522 as "The Black Boy Inn," was a reminder that we were in a country with a very different and much longer history than the US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522964179217-6J1H9VPGB5LDCPRMXG1N/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In Rhostrehwfa: Tuesday, April 3rd https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/4/5/monday-april-2-tenby-to-rhostrehwfa-via-aberyswyth monthly 0.5 2018-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522959724513-QEAU60EM45ZPTGYNEVCP/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Tenby to Rhostrehwfa via Aberyswyth: Monday, April 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522960734479-3SGUS7HPIO30UZH9RRF3/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Tenby to Rhostrehwfa via Aberyswyth: Monday, April 2 The original city walls weave through town like a medieval river, about 1/3 of them still standing since the 13th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522959990726-SIUKH8O2KDN5DUTVMY65/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Tenby to Rhostrehwfa via Aberyswyth: Monday, April 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522961189580-VVA1SX2IFNWVOCOO2QFD/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Tenby to Rhostrehwfa via Aberyswyth: Monday, April 2  ...when half of the typically 6-meter tidal drop has already left the boats in harbor high and dry.

We had both learned this church is a symbol of hope for Londoners, as it was not damaged by bombs in World War II. We attended Evensong and sat in the choir stalls. The music was beautiful and the prayers were very moving. We then headed to one of London’s oldest pubs, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, “rebuilt in 1667,” following the great fire of London. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522921585203-DOHT35705O6BVML0KC5B/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Hello?

Wednesday, March 28 Next stop, Buckingham Palace and a potential changing of the guard ceremony...we got a watered down version, due to the rainy skies. Usually, there is a band that plays as the soldiers march to their post, but we just saw the soldiers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522614125256-2CYGCL9LNDR19WBB9YIW/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Hello?

London lost 4 million people - half its population - from 1935 to 1945; a lot was due to lost housing and jobs from Germany’s bombing in WWII. It’s not hard to understand why the U.K. is empathetic to refugees fleeing war at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522324710779-W2VZZQJO4PVQCX6I5980/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 at one of the above sites, this is the walk- through under scaffolding: it’s enclosed, is lit at night, and has windows cut in. (Not all of them are like this, but quite a few were, especially those that involved restoration of a building facade on a “listed” property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522411417595-K9RMDIFIJGX9GOVTHDHA/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522406939319-5MS6CK0DWD8E1Z8VOG7N/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 The storybook courtyard that is Neal’s Yard at Covent Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522406653580-IGR272ECVOFOKTH8WZBR/FullSizeRender.jpg Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 We spent a lot of time on the tube, which was easy to use, clean, and quiet - seriously, almost no one talks on the train! We got to know the ads well too. Here’s a Portrait Mode photo of us in front of an iPhone ad for the same :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522406813269-SL25JUPRMSRVPIIYTEJL/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 We found a fantastic pizza pub in Covent Garden, amongst also-fantastic headquarters for Neal’s Yard creamery (where we sampled some amazing cheeses and took some with us) and Neal’s Yard Remedies. We could have stayed here for the whole day... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522407245871-3LE4Q03NHHME889RH0PW/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Tuesday March 27 we had dinner at The Ivy in Covent Garden, featuring a great Art Deco style, over the top service, and high end comfort food, like this San Daniele ham, scorched figs, Gorgonzola & multiseed cracker appetizer, or the Moroccan spiced lamb rump we split later on. We had at least 5 staff wait on us and felt like movie stars. (This place used to be known for the famous people who would dine there and the paparazzi who waited outside - fortunately that’s no longer the case) https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/3/26/in-london-monday-march-26th monthly 0.5 2018-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522106710677-4K8FLDXDKQ6T0G9UAFCM/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th We had dinner at the Sky Garden Bar, which combined great views with an aerial greenhouse and great charcuterie. We were almost higher than the top of The Gherkin while we were eating our gherkins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522103760486-AQ2DQ18OOOYJH07HVGN6/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522106942007-78AKNL1B7YDHEIR20831/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522105962270-17MHDSFQBM37EIHN4UCG/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522106394410-XOYIS8OZIKQ16CORI5RO/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th it also features three great restaurants, including this one on the roof https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522106894062-4I8WSTZ1VUEKN3P3XRQA/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In London : Monday, March 26th https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/3/26/in-for-the-long-haul monthly 0.5 2018-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522100889577-WF9GZKX5EVP1TPBZ6BYR/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In for the long haul Having the flight progress map in the seatback was cool!... wanting to keep check it at 3:30am, not so much.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522101832606-OPW5A8EGJ9KMKFSE3MNJ/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In for the long haul Team CocoBri, at either midnight Central time or 6am London time... Either way, not a time that we normally have coffee and pastries from a very French cafe. Maybe we should start, look how happy we are to be in Heathrow! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522100826358-HKWL747P5CK5NCPG0TAB/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In for the long haul https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522100742458-ZD3XB90Q973PQ388UIVI/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In for the long haul We made It! We didn’t get a good photo because we wanted to be polite, but right after this part of the terminal we got to meet Queen Elisabeth. She was there early to personally promote the third season of The Crown to all visiting Americans, which was very nice of her given how early our flight got in. Also we were possibly maybe delirious from a redeye flight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1522101484255-MXRODRBCU2JS9ESX4L63/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - In for the long haul Brian’s first passport stamp! It was expertly stamped at the bottom page 14 by a customs agent who was very polite, but was almost certainly more sleepy than we were. Actually, one corner of it was stamped onto her desk, but 95% still gets you into the country. https://teamcocobri.co/honeywoo/2018/3/23/221br1t3y0vysujbbzhlaro1ct2bpx monthly 0.5 2018-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1521989138551-0ZWMLCHUPO5LFR7DR26X/IMAGE.JPG Honeywoo - Did you know it’s 2:30pm in London? https://teamcocobri.co/404 daily 0.75 2016-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1456767333282-E6G4ABYM6BBNHFHEPFWW/CocoBrian+at+Home-17.jpg not found https://teamcocobri.co/registry daily 0.75 2016-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1472700032262-DNXE0NZFLUS89LID0VIM/1472668618897.jpeg Registry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473651679176-EYOFCSIESG286T4XDCH2/storefront220.jpg Registry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473652317386-F01QV2HMYFMM98N7IM6P/image-asset.jpeg Registry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1472605664890-DWL268RYYYLGNDLYTCW9/image-asset.jpeg Registry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1413392636024-DWQNGPCT5IWGL6LIDK3D/amazon.png Registry - Colleen and Brian's wedding registry at Amazon.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1472698569550-PJIQ5A8QBLFDNQRPKW7P/new-anthropologie-logo.jpg Registry - Colleen and Brian's wedding registry at Anthropologie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1413392636410-AXOJNF6FOFHPNDRRCXDA/target.png Registry - Colleen and Brian's wedding registry at Target https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1413392636481-TN57UQ9ZVLNKWV1QWYYQ/williams-sonoma.png Registry - Collen and Brian's wedding registry at Williams-Sonoma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473860811943-1LA3I9C8V4314MEZDAH1/slt_logo.png Registry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1472701292178-ANDXQDM14GNAHT1C0JMC/IMG_8082.jpg Registry https://teamcocobri.co/colleen-brians-woodsmith-store-registry daily 0.75 2016-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473650757897-VZG8EWZNEJQSFC5UUUXO/IMG_8116.jpg Let's Paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473272695119-QEMCNXP992H2P4QEORB0/image-asset.jpeg Let's Paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473272592504-DV1JKWKW57N09OMNVBX9/Kitchen Let's Paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473272446202-NQVW7399L5P56ZIR4O88/dining+room Let's Paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473272646490-RN0EC8X568VFW2OGVUE0/Foyer Let's Paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1473271262373-2WT7ZVLEZHFFQ9NNT2H7/o.jpg Let's Paint! https://teamcocobri.co/photobooth daily 0.75 2017-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d32417d210b8b23f1b92ce/1487216109726-K7PPW9KCWM9MSXNA2IUA/IMG_8323.jpg Photo Booth! https://teamcocobri.co/read-me-alex daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1408051089601-1FGOGC94AFH3382KHIDS/image-asset.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1408051210145-TJZIWROSOKJNXSL492HI/image-asset.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d7e714e4b0cb1125a8185a/1408049628553-DI4M8C71OPT845LWBJZI/img_0843.jpg Read Me
