''...the green and troubled land of
tourist brochures and news headlines.''

Quote from: Ireland, A Novel by Frank Delaney

Warmed and cooled by the North Atlantic stream and location respectively, Ireland is never extremely cold or extremely hot.

This celtic isle is stoney grey, rugged mountains, cliffs and dewy greenness. Windswept and misty, you will likely need an umbrella anytime.

From the ring of Kerry to the tatched cottages of Conamera to the Giants Causeway, may the road rise to meet you and may your hassles be small ones.

Ireland has folklore, lively music, dance and haunting ballads. Kiss the Blarney stone and join the locals in one of the pubs which outnumber just about everything for a pint of black and tan, or ten. Then rise up yer skirts and kick up yer heals for a bit of mighty craic with fiddles, harps, jigs and reels.

The countdown... Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin

I have two weeks left in Ireland as of today... Sometimes the enormity of what I'm about to undertake hits me, like a slap across the face with a wet fish. Sometimes it's a goldfish, sometimes it's a fuckin blue fin tuna. Now it's a tuna. [View Full Entry]

Inish Mor Europe » Ireland » County Galway » Aran Islands

Yesterday we took the ferry from Galway to the Aran Islands.... The sea's were rolling and Amber was convinced we were gonna flip the boat. And by boat I mean a pretty goodsized ship. Don't worry we didn't capsize and we got our moneys worth for the ride. We landed on Inish Mor, the largest of the three island, and rented Mountaibn bikes... more rust buckets with front suspension but at least most of the gears worked. We only got rained on for about 5-10 minutes but then the sun came out and we dried off quickly. We rode up to [View Full Entry]

Scraping old paint off the house with the "help" of my trusty assistant, Pedro.

First I'd like brag: I got a comment from someone I don't know! So, like, people other than my family and friends must be reading this, and stuff. So cool! Hey, if you're reading this and you've never actually met me and you'd like to make my day, leave a comment :) :). Anyway, down to business. Here is another email I sent to my fam and friends. Enjoy! ______________ Hello! Things are still going really well out here in Ireland.

Rocky Road to Dublin Europe » Ireland » County Cork

Shooting the proverbial
Irish cousins with Marian enjoying the "craic"

Sept. 6 through Sept. 10, 2009 I have booked a round trip flight from Leeds/Bradford to Dublin for 2 pounds and then a flight from Cork to Dublin for six pounds. All by booking months ahead on super cheap airline - Ryan Air. Anyway, on Saturday, 6 Sept, I boarded the flying bus and was met at Dublin Airport by Ann Nolan, one of my Irish cousins. She had arranged a party for me to say "hello" to her dad, and many brothers and sisters. I had met a couple of them over the years, however this was a full clan [View Full Entry]

Dad, I'm spending a semester in Ireland. Europe » Ireland » County Galway » Galway

I have always loved to travel. Spending three weeks in a country was never long enough for me. I love meeting new people, eating new foods, trying helplessly to learn a new language, make relationships with other kids just like myself, and helping others. From a pretty young age I have always wanted to see new things and experience life as I never have. When a group of my friends went to California for a wakeboarding competition and I was left here, I had this crazy urge to start researching studying abroad and mission trips. My first thought was to only [View Full Entry]

Dublin Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin

Ok, so. Second entry. I apologize in advance if this is incoherent or rambling or both. In about 2 minutes I will be celebrating my 31st consecutive hour without sleep. Well, that's not entirely true. I slept o. The bus by accident, but that comes later. I'll try to just include the highlights instead of writing a novel. Interesting story #1: even though my layover in Dublin was 24 hours - enough to pretty much need to stay at a hotel - aer lingus kindly transferred my luggage to the Rome flight for me. Great! One more bag not to have [View Full Entry]

real internet-Westport Europe » Ireland » County Mayo » Westport

Ashford Castle

We finally found our first free WiFi.... not quite a coffee shop but a Cyber Pub! Totally comfortable with driving for the most part. Last nights campground was more like a Gypsy encampment so we hit the road early and have been touring the countryside. We are next heading to Connamerra and camping near the town of Clifden. Probably moving south tomorrow and maybe out to the Arran Islands. We will post photos but if it cuts out halfway through it is because we are on battery power. Answers to people FAQ's: #1) Yes Guinness tastes different- Smoother and Fresher... not [View Full Entry]
