Magical Mystery Tour
by Mark Seal
What did Sarah think of it at first? The first thing we did
was have breakfast somewhere. She was crazy for the tea. They have
these huge breakfasts there. They call it a fry, and it includes
bacon, a fried egg - basically a basted fried egg - and usually a
sausage and some baked beans. That's a traditional Irish breakfast,
which Sarah happened to love. It's just the kind of place she
likes. She loves having tea and biscuits and sitting by a fire.
It's kind of a cozy type of lifestyle. I think we had breakfast
right in the
Dublin airport, in this place called Bewley's, which
is a little bit of a chain. In Dublin, if you want really good
old-fashioned tea and coffee and foods like that, you'll want to
go to Bewley's. There is one in the airport and then there is one
that is really pretty on Grafton Street.
Yeah. You fall asleep in the car, hopefully. Then when you get up,
your eyes pop out of your head. You can't believe how pretty it is.
Sarah just really loved it; she was really thrilled. She really
took to the people. Now, we have come back with our little boy,
too, which has been really fun because the people there are very
kid-friendly. They like having children over, and there are a lot
of little children on our road. James just turned three, and he's
been there twice. He has a picture in his room of the house, which
he calls the "cozy cottage." He constantly wants to go there.
Partly because when we are there, we are not working, and it's just
the whole family at home all the time. For him, that was really
great. He also likes our car there. There are all these neighbors
who come and play with him. There are huge fields to run around.
There are sheep everywhere, and he likes to look at them. Horses
walk by. It's kind of a paradise for a little kid.
