Global warming!!

---

Well believe it or not (Mr. Bush) global warming is a very much real and very much affecting the world. In the Scotland Highlands there was no snow on the peaks and in Ireland it is dry as a bone!! One can only hear "It is crazy weather," only so many times before anyone with a 5 year olds brain capacity begins to put one and one together and actually know the answer is two (Mr. Bush?).
Anyway, after my lil speal there I shall recap the happenings of the past couple of days. I believe that the last I said anything I was in Edinburgh. If not I was and it is an amazing place. Since then I have traveled out of Scotalnd, across Wales, and into Ireland. Spent last night in Dublin. I was extremely unimpressed with Dublin honestly. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have gone from major city to major city to major city but nonetheless it was dull. But I did have a couple of Guinesses (or would it be Guini?) at any rate. I had two while watching a chelsea football (soccer for all you back home) game in an Irish pub. I thought that was pretty cool. Went to sleep only to rudely be awakened by the loudest snorer I have ever heard! Yes it even beat McFarland (for those that know him you know this is no small feat!)! But nothing a pair of earplugs couldnt fix.
So this morning I was on my way to southern Ireland looking for some scenery. And I definitally found some. On the train I looked out the window and felt a little sad that I had come so early in the season. I could tell that the countryside was preparing awaken from its winter's slumber and burst forth with radiant vibrant colour. It was like that second after waking up that someone you love, with sleep still in their eyes, before they realize what is going on. Right before they flash that smile. That time when you can see the beauty but know full well there is only more to come. Maybe that is a strange way to describe it but that is what I thought.
Got into Killarney, situated into the hostel and inquired to a cycling trail. I was pointed in the right direction of the trail and a place to rent a bike. Got myself two mini baguets some ham/chicken mix (kinda skettchy but delish), some cheese and a bottle of water. 13 kilometers later I am dead but it was totally worth it! The geography is unrelateable! (to many times I find this phenominom of not being able to describe what I see. It frustrates me to the uttmost degree!!) So much beauty. With the wind in my hair I smiled. "I enjoy this," is what I though. And I did too.
Ring of Kerry tomorrow. France on Saturday. Not bad weekend plans I'd say.
Miss everyone. Hope all is well in everyone's lives.

PS evidently I never made it clear that my bag did arrive the second day of my adventures so I am not still in the exact clothes I wore on the plane. Although I only have about 3 changes of clothes. I think I should do laundry soon.

[Not McFarland......thats for sure........:)]

Bull @#%&
I resent that remark, Zack McFarland is my friend, and I know for a fact that he doesn't snore that bad. I also know that he is wildly handsome and amazingly talented at life. I also know that he hopes you are staying safe, and that he is so happy for you. He also said he can't wait till you get home.
