OK on rereading my previous post I’m still not happy with the finial image I may be leaving you with of my time in Ireland so have decided to rectify the situation by publishing a photo essay (Or am I again restating my Title with my introduction?)
Ok let’s start with a few group shots of the early crew
The vast majority of my mates over the last year are Spanish with a splattering of Czech, German, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and very occasionally an Irish or two.
The grounded pilots, the Luis’. 1 is a Battle-Cat & the other…well he slept a lot.
Josue-see what my Sunnies and Cigar can do for a man.
Me breaking the Spaniards with a little game we call 3man!
As I said above I did meet the occasional Irish lad…for some strange reason nearly all of them are called Brian
Andre: He did have a girlfriend but it seems sometimes he got confused
Me being humbled by a surprise birthday party 
As you can imagine St Patrick’s Day is quite an event in Ireland
Yay for Ze Germans – Steffie and friend
Random photos of the lads
As the only person of Irish descent in the crew ½ the time I took it upon myself to teach people the jig…at times I had a little help from my wee Irish lass Terrie.
Marsha and David: Two of the greatest tour guides money can buy…Plus they’re awesome people as well
Silvia & Andre’s little sis.
Flower power: alive & well
Don’t worry Mum that’s only a Hookah being loaded with apple tobacco
As you may have noticed I’ve acquired a taste for Spanish drinks, be it Mojito, Sangria or Calimocho
My introduction to Tinto De Verano (Tinto Berlingo) in the 3 weeks of Irish Summer

Man I loved the pre-parties!

Much less angry than watching games in England

Even I sometimes tire of getting my photo taken

Note the high quality beer
Canery, Miguel & Castro…Also looking pretty
Yay for Sunday football, Hurling, Rugby, Gaelic Football & F1
Sara: My future wife, bread winner and enabler

Miguel: serenading the ladies

Thank you everyone…Not even sure who ½ of these people are?
