What's the craic? Part III

While in Ireland I spent some time in Kinlough and Bondouran. Lot of lakes and of course the ocean. How knew that you could surf in Ireland? And no, I didn't try it. I stayed on dry land.

What's the craic? Part II

On the plane ride over to Ireland I sat next to a retired American couple from Nebraska. We had a nice chat about their trip to Europe and how I liked living in Germany. Until they said the following sentence, "Your English is quite good." Seriously? Yep, I am an American and that is the language that I grew up speaking so yes, it is quite good. I ended the conversation there because I just couldn't bear to go on.

What's the Craic? Part I

Well, I just arrived back in Germany from a week in Ireland. Not only did I start my new job but I also met Sean's family. First the job. I accepted a job at Vistamed which is an Irish based catheter manufacturing company. They are quite small (about 70 people) and I am the first sales person ever hired. My official title is Techical Sales Development Manager. As was with my old job I will work from home when not traveling the globe. So far I like working there. Everyone is very helpful and nice. It is great to be back at a small company again where there isn't so much of a political environement and I report directly to one of the owners so I get a say in how things are done.

Alicante Spain

It was decided that some R&R was much needed. Afterall, being unemployed isn't easy. So we took off to Alicante Spain for 4 days. We stayed in Sean's uncles house which overlooks the ocean. We spend a little time at the beach. a little time by the pool and a little time in Alicante. The weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold. The only problem we encountered is the eating hours. We were always hungry at 5 but the restaurants do not open until 8. Siesta time was a bit of an inconvenience. Other than that it was great albeit too short. Hopefully we will go back soon and spend more time.
