The Sanders Family Travels Abroad for a Year
Good to have you along for our year long adventures in Ireland and other countries. We are working, playing, and schooling amongst our neighbors in Carna, Ireland.
Please use control + to enlarge the blog, the photos look much better this way. As of March 2011, google has improved the presentation of the blog, the photos show much better now.
Carna is along the west coast on Ireland, a little over an hour's drive from Gallway. It is a pretty rural area, and it is rugged and beautiful, physically and culturally.
We will keep you updated with our life, as we settle into a coastal home and integrate into the community. Greg is working in a Family Practice clinic, mentored by Gerard Hooke, whom Greg worked with a few years ago, for many years, in Arlington, Washington state. Gerard and his wife Amanda have settled into this area a few years ago, and are beloved by the community. The clinic was started by Michael Casey, who worked here solo for many years. He now has 3 clinics in Galway county, where he shares his time.
Our 3 children are in the local schools,where the classes are taught in the Irish language, with some English as well. We are exploring Ireland, on weekend drives. Also, periodically we are hopping over to the mainland Europe, for longer adventures.
Wow! It's 50 degrees here in Marysville, can't believe you still are in shorts over there! I wonder if all the people in the festival photos are tourists or locals?
ReplyDeleteConstruction is moving along here at the clinic and I will post some pictures for you when I figure out how to do it. They are having a contest to name the nurse's station pods because there will be two now, what do you suggest?? Do you know how to change your oil/ will you be geting a drivers license?? All the MA's say "hello!" We all miss you and your patients want you to cut the trip short and come back early!!
