I have similar lineage, Bob. All but two of my g grandparents immigrated from Ireland … the other two from Northern Ireland. Because my grandmother was also born in Ireland, I was eligible to apply and obtain Irish citizenship which permits me to visit Ireland without time restrictions. I took an early retirement 12 years ago and since then I've been spending my summers in Ireland. It's a wonderful country that has beautiful landscapes in addition to having the most welcoming people on the planet. I've been fortunate enough to set foot on all seven continents and only the Australians come close to the hospitality of the Irish in my experience. I've collectively spent only several months in Australia whereas my collective time in Ireland is now measured in years so my personal experience with residents of those countries is far from balanced. Be that as it may, both countries have much to offer. Having so much Irish blood in me, I prefer to believe the hospitality of Australians is a trait that comes from the heavy concentration of Irish blood found in their population! I must confess that I am not without bias in my judgement! Like you, I've also noticed the correlation of a rising IQ with multiple pints of Guinness. <G> Pat
