Back to Belfast

When I was a teenager, I spent summers in the U.S., mostly at the beach visiting my grandparents in New Jersey and Florida. When I flew back to Belfast every August, it was invariably rainy and gray. But the weather was fine when we arrived Saturday, easing my fears that reentry might be hard.

Portugal is a lovely place with much to explore and learn. However, it is very hot and I can't take the heat for long. I'm sure we'll go back, but I had no qualms at all about coming back to rainy Ireland.
