Riu arrived in Dublin just in time for Ben’s birthday.

Ben, Riu, and Granizado Kennedy…

Learning to share is hard.

On the way to Ireland, Riu visited her Uncle Eamon in lovely Bristol.

As you can see, Bristol has lots of nice record shops.

Riu needed a bath after the long roadtrip up through France.

OH HAI!

Just riding my caballito by a canalside.

Riding my caballito by the side of the CANAL DU MIDI!

Giddy-up Canalside Caballito, giddy-up.

Riu.

On the drive up through France, Riu stopped in to visit the medieval walled-city of Carcassone.

It was cold and wet, so she stayed all bundled up.

Before heading off on the road to Ireland to visit her extended family, Riu wanted to swing by and visit her old friend Ari in Barcelona.

Ari, trying to hide…

OH HAI ARI, I SEE YOU.

Onwards to Ireland.
