    Hello from Catholic Ireland. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

    That was great, it was like a thriller! Or an episode of The Greatest Race. Or a twist on the movie Speed, where you can't stop moving forward or Melissa won't get the writing gig. Now I need to find the next episode to see what happened, and what the big, fancy magazine is. Your videos are most engaging and highly entertaining and you are terrific guides. Thanks.

    When in Québec City, go to the bakeries (or boulangeries) and eat the pastries! Or, the viennoiseries, if you prefer. We chose the latter, though I was unfamiliar with the word before researching Quebec City’s bakeries... chrisplusmelissa.com/the-3-best-bakeries-in-north-americas-most-european-city/

    You are such a sweet couple. I was born and raised in Thomondgate Limerick. I left when I married my English husband over 42 years ago now. My walk home from school would take me by King Johns Castle, which at that time was open to anyone, and I would often climb the steep stairs to get a view of the Shannon river. My family history is connected to both sides of that river, ie, English Town and Irish town. On one side you may have come across St. Munchins Catholic Church and just across the river on the other side is St. Mary’s Protestant Church. My father was baptised in both of these churches!

    I don't think Finnish teens need to sneak out, a boyfriend/girlfriend staying overnight at each others is pretty common. There's this little anecdote about the filming of the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street 4", when they were still rewriting the script during shooting, the director Renny Harlin (a Finn) suggested that one of the characters could stay over at their boyfriends. This was quickly shot down however, because the director didn't realize there's a cultural difference. I don't know, maybe the Finnish are a bit more relaxed about human nature I guess...

    The Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, stretches from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to Edinburgh Castle. If you’re feeling ambitious or are limited on time, it is possible to make it to each of these five worth-your-while stops in a single day. It’s a 25-minute walk from one end of the Royal Mile to the other. We recommend spreading them over two days and enjoying leisurely meals in between. See our post for all of the details: chrisplusmelissa.com/5-stops-on-edinburghs-royal-mile-that-are-worth-your-while/

    Im from Cork, i have been to the US nearly 15 times. I like your videos on our beautiful country. The game y'all were at, I saw my brother and nephew in the background. They weren't supporting either team but they were both part of the backroom teams for the cork minor hurlers and the cork camogie (hurling for women) and in the last 2 years, both teams won the All Ireland Championship. I Hope all of y'all's time here in Ireland was "Mighty Craic" and y'all had no bad experiences. Ireland is generally safe but sadly we have a**h***s who just want to make other people's lives a misery. Fingers crossed, y'all didn't come across any of those Irish people.

    Thank you for this video. I was an American exchange student from New Jersey attending the University of Limerick in 1991. King John's Castle was just opened after renovation that October and St. Mary's was undergoing renovations. I was there for the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Limerick.
