Tony and Sandra's Story

We met at Anthony Dowling's last night. They are in their late fifties or sixties. They had been to Ireland three times and knew all the songs on Anthony's dvds. They had even climbed Eirigal and Croagh Patrick. As I had climbed Croagh patrick just before I left and found the last stretch a bitch, I was impressed. They even knew that the theatre the Dubliners were singing in was the Olympia and were able to name pubs in our major cities. Oh and for their next trick, sorry trip, they were heading in two days to Antarctica for nine days. I would say it was for more than fulfilling a certain Bing Crosby's dream.
