Monday morning here again, and as it goes we’ve got another round of photos to kick off the week.  The final throws of summer are officially upon us; I hope you have some time carved out over the next few weeks to enjoy them.

Mary – Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland
I’m in Ireland for a wedding, which has been lovely. But nothing has compared to a chance meeting I had with the unknown first cousin of my grandpa, John Gaughan.  My great grandmother left Ireland, and buried a child at sea,100 years ago; those she left along with those she had born always wondered about the other. The genuine joy we each shared to chance a meeting was beyond words.

We went to a free Saw Doctors show at the Waterford Spraoi Festival. They played their first show there and now again 20 years later.

Achill Island, County Mayo is actually the sister city of our own Cleveland, Ohio.  Apparently 20,000 people in Cleveland claim heritage from Achill, and they call it Little Achill (like the bar on the corner of Madison Ave. and 140th Street in Cleveland).

These are Maura’s geese in Achill; we let them out to the lake everyday.

It was a hot and sweaty weekend in NYC. I went to a friend’s beautiful wedding in Battery Park, enjoyed a delicious lobster roll and some shopping at the Hester Street Fair, found myself at an oasis of a tented lawn party and ate a ton of cherries.  It was also the first weekend in many that I wasn’t in Ohio.  To ease the withdraw, we have an Ohio-theme for today’s round of photos.  The heart of it all.

So many of my foodie friends have been asking about what we have been eating, so I thought I would tell you.

Since we arrived in Bali, we start the morning with a hunt for good, cheap coffee. They have what is called “Bali coffee” here. It’s pretty good – sweet and grainy, but smooth. It is kind of like drinking hot chocolate without the milk.

For breakfast, we might have something like Malta Toast, which is honey, avocado and sesame seeds. Interesting combo that brings back memories of the affair I once had with honey.

Around lunchtime we sometimes share a noodle dish, make a sandwich or grab a smoothie. They have fresh fruit and smoothie stands everywhere. Last night I had a mango banana smoothie and it was divine.

Almost every night, we head to the night market which consists of about ten vendors that BBQ, deep fry and cook fresh fish like Barracuda, Red and Black Snapper, Tuna, Prawns and Mahi Mahi.

Albert has Mei Goreng almost every night. It is a traditional Indonesian noodle dish with egg and chicken. They also serve Gado Gado which is a vegetable medley with tempeh (!) and tufu.

After Brisbane, we headed to the Whitsunday IslandsThe day we got there was Albert’s birthday so we celebrated to our best of our abilities. Birthday surprises are hard to pull off when we are always together, but we had fun trying!

We decided to take a 2 day sailing tour of the surrounding islands.

We frolicked on Whitehaven Beach.

Had to wear stinger suits (yikes!).

We saw some dolphins, fed some birds, swam with fish.

All and all, it was a wonderful trip.

Starting off the week, once again, with a round of pictures courtesy of you guys (and one of my own).  Hope this week brings you all everything you desire.
