This is the front of the apartment house--we waited for a short bit with all our luggage for the agent to arrive. We didn't travel too lightly with six pieces of luggage. The cabbie who dropped us off had actually rented the same apartment six years ago so knew the tricky way into the drive and all the low-down on the area including nearby pubs. Here I'm counting out my euros for the down payment--the money seems to run through your fingers here! Laura likes the looks of it--quite colorful. I'm still trying to get used to the coins and how to figure out the amounts.
Do they use euros? Talking to Mom now and she'll check in the blog today.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are set up for euros here, though I got a lesson in this last night at a dinner reception they hosted for us. Apparently Ireland was one of the few English speaking countries to change over t the euros so there was much debate on how to use euro versus euros, etc. The people often still refer to quid and previous dollar amounts which were in denominations like 20 coins for a "dollar" and 12 pence for one of the coins. Apparently this made it easier for dividing and calculating in times before calculators.
