Bethany Stercho in Ireland 2
We are on our way to a pottery place in the town Dingle. We stopped at a gas station for a restroom stop. There was a butchers stop right next to it that we stopped into. The man was so unbelievably nice to us. His name was Paudie Moriarity. A few of us girls were looking on the shelf at a bottle of "rapeseed oil" and giggling. He said you know what that is and we said is that like olive oil? He said, it's better than olive oil. Then he said, "Grab that square bottle there. I tell you what, you take that home." We were shocked! How nice, we said about a hundred times as we repeatedly thanked him. Today has just started but has already been such a great experience filled with nice generous Irish people. Yesterday was great as well. We got to visit the beach were I found some seashells and toured Waterford crystal where I bought a beautiful bowl for my mom. This is such a wonderful trip and amazing experience!
