Ireland, Day 7

Well, it all had to end sometime, and I think we were both ready to come home and sleep in our own bed. We got up early, and before the Innkeeper's kids were on the bus, we were eating breakfast. As we drove to the Shannon Airport there was this lingering thought "do we have enough gas?" Most of our vacation, we had only put a few euros in at a time, as we got to drop the car off empty, so we didn't want to put any more in than we had to. About 2/3 of the way to the Airport, we stopped and put 2 L in (gas was about 1.22 euro/L, 4L = 1 gallon). When we pulled into the car drop-off, our little meter said we had 15 km left in the gas tank, so I think we did pretty well. As we were driving, we were on the highway, we passed this beautiful castle, and of course there wasn't any time to stop/pull over. So I did what anyone would do - rolled down the window. We made it to the airport, and had time to check in, do a little bit of shopping in the Duty-free store, and change any euros we had left back to dollars. The flight home was pretty un-interesting, which I'm ok with.
