Shared a fabulous full rainbow at sunset last evening with Georg Edith and Lorenz Punt from Austria who are enjoying their first holiday in Ireland spending their first week on the Shannon with a hire cruiser and next week they plan to do some sightseeing following a trail advised by a friend. Edith says she loves the flat lands they have seen so far and she is mad about the sea. They have their own Lodge in the mountains which they use for skiing and I promised to get the Shannonbridge Ski Club to call and see them when in their area. Lorenz has just completed his second level schooling and must spend a compulsory year in the army before going to university tell me that the name Punt comes from the Latin for a bridge and not from our old Irish Punt note. They were telling about one of their neighbours called Otzi The Iceman who was discovered mummified high in the Alps and had been there for 5,300 years.
The website irishexaminer.com seems to have an amount of free news available. See where the Irish soccer team play Bulgaria in a friendly this evening in Dublin and there appears to be lots of talent available even though three regular members are out injured.
