Sticking Out in Minnesota - A Dubliner's Journey
When a young Irish student meets a lovely American girl on a study trip to Ireland he thinks it is a chance meeting that will never develop any further.
Before the couple know it days have turned into months, and before long they are married in a Las Vegas-style wedding complete with an Elvis impersonator. But that is only the start of the adventure!
Seán finds himself stuck (and sticking out) in America where everyone – but particularly the insect population – seems to be completely different.
Written with humour, the writer looks at the differences between two countries with a ‘special relationship’ who somehow both speak the same language, but in a completely different way.
