Mephisto, my husband is Irish, and would like to return there to live. We can live anywhere in the European Economic Community because of our passports, which gives us a lot of freedom, and Ireland has always appealed to me because I like very quiet places with lots of gardening opportunities. It also has good, inexpensive universities for our daughter, and an improving economy.
I have not visited Ireland yet, although I plan to do so. On the other hand, we have lived a long time in America, and in all fairness I would live there anyway, to make him happy, unless there was a compelling reason not to. But everything I know about Ireland--its topography, its films, the music (especially U2, but also its indigenous folk music), its poets, and the youth and vigor of its population, are very appealing to me. And my daughter is starting to notice guys, and the ones she thinks are extremely cute are more than usually Irish!!!
Have you been anywhere in Europe, Mephisto? |
