This is our ol' pal Robert cooking up some burgers for the 4th of July!  A lot of the staff got quite dressed up in their red, white and blue...just to make us to feel at home.  And the burgers were from the local butcher...my kind of place!

From our tour of the burren.  From left is Dawn, Oz, Me and Natasha (all in the MFA program with me)  The usual stone burren landscape and sea are behind us...really different than anything we're used to at home:)
