people! 1: Mary!

Let's introduce some people here: she's around the first person I met in Ireland, and certainly, among the people I met in the first few days, the one I most kept contact with!

I have loads of beautiful pictures of Mary, but I chose that one, simply because it represents the place and time in which we always spent time together on, during the year, with only a few exceptions. We were flatmates, but not always had time to meet, but we always had that 'sacred' (?) moment, when we went to Monroes, a pub on Dominic Street. But I'll tell you more about that later, surely... (and she understands right now that I'm trying not to laugh too hard... and floundering :) ). So, Mary! : of all the people I know, I think she's the most passioned about her subject (although Rowena's being quite a competitor in that matter) : Middle Ages! Don't start her on Arthur, she'll never stop! We had so many laughs about the Monty Pythons, pirates, fake spys, curls, anything really; that I can't think of her without a smile appearing on my face. She's a vegetarian, but will never give up on her cheese ('You've never had any of my cheese!'), even more than me, in fact! Although she's American, she's not American... 'whaaat?' ... no, I mean, she's not the type of American you see everywhere (especially on TV, during the news about the current US president): she's smart, clever, funny, very literate, and sooo nice! and pacifist! what more could you ask for?
