You run into the funniest things in the country. Back home, the typical road jam is car traffic during rush hour OR the occasional tractor. Here, it's a bit more like this:
The cows did make us late, but it was actually a highlight for us. Probably because the cows were so hilarious. As slow moving as they were, they were super curious. They couldn't pass someone's hedge without peeking over, a car without looking inside at the driver, or another cow without going over to say hello. Then, when they made it to their new field, one of them literally frolicked around the field. I hope you all see Ireland, but I also hope you get to see a cow frolic.
Once the cows passed, and we made it to the group, we had a great time. For the first time in a long while we got drizzled on. But still managed to all stay smiley. Hilda, an older German sister commended Kayla on her driving skills. They had a moment.
That evening we were able to get to know Peter's parents. Lovingly referred to as Nana and Capo. She made us a traditional English dish called Yorkshire Pudding. Essentially, it's just a delicious bread with a divot in the center, some meat on the side, and then a gravy that goes all into the divot and over the bread.
The meal was perfection, and so was the company.
