Now I can't stop thinking about the veggie burger meal from Mcdonald's :-)

I see what you mean, it sounds like a sensible idea to go back to Ireland, but life is full of surprises, and it's great that you've had a great time in Mexico. Not just visiting as a holiday but you've actually lived there. I wish I'd had an experience like that. Though I'd probably go crazy without Tesco & Lidl after a while! I'm sure you'll miss real Mexican food when you're back. I hope Misty will be ok flying back. Thank you for sharing the story!
