Westport!

Shelley and James had their wedding in Westport on December 29th. She wore the shawl I knit her, which was perfect because the church was positively glacial. I had a fantastic time getting to know Shelley's friends from Dublin, Arizona, Michigan, and New York. Also, the Wyatt Hotel is outstanding--the staff were nice, the room was lovely (a double bed in a single room, yay!), and the food was much better than I expected. (The vegetarian breakfast came with fried goats cheese. Squee!)(I love this picture. Most of my photos weren't very good, so I got this one from James' Facebook album. Shelley's friend Carolyn Tacey was the official wedding photographer.)The day after the wedding a bunch of us drove out to Croagh Patrick (thanks for driving, Lorraine!)--after a delicious lunch at The Tavern, we just walked up to the statue of St. Patrick at the foot of the mountain--and after that we ambled around Murrisk Abbey for a bit.Next post: adventures in London, part 1.
