Got up far too early after a late night, got showers, and went down for the breakfast. We were moved into a larger room as there were so many people invited to the breakfast and Joe and I got down there for the start at 9, but were by no means the first people. Had a nice breakfast and a chat with everyone. Found out the bride and groom left with the avenue of sparklers with the intention of going on to a little bar nearby but decided it was far too cold and wet and so turned around and came back in. But, as the bride said, the photos will be nice.<\/p>\n
We hung around and waved good-bye as everyone left. We watched everything get packed away into the cars and the last thing was the surfboard going on top of the groom’s car! We are now the only people left in the hotel from the wedding, so it’s nice and quiet. It was nice to meet everyone and we had a good time but it’s also nice to have a break and relax.<\/p>\n
It was a beautiful morning, bright sun and warm, so, after everyone left, Joe and I headed out for a walk. His new shoes have given him blisters so it wasn’t much of a walk but we stopped at the Dublin pub for lunch and ended up sitting with a very nice person. The place was packed as the weather was so nice, with everyone wanting to sit out in the sun. After lunch we headed back to the hotel, watched a movie, and Joe is now watching baseball while I read. Nice and relaxing! Of course, it has also started raining again. I hope that stops by tomorrow.<\/p>\n
New York tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
