darkfyre_museNot that home is bad, short of being a terrible mess at the moment. There are,however, places that I would much rather be. Ireland seems to top that list but is running neck in neck with OTP.
Two and a half days was way not enough in Ireland. I don' t think spending the whole week there would have been enough.
But a week of galavanting in the British Isles with three of my favorite people was such a treat. I had forgotten what an incredible high travelling is. So a couple stamps in the new passport has inspired much mental planning. I don't know how or when but more traveling is definitely in order.
So a quick synopsis..
6/23-- Arrive in London around 10 ish and stumble around a bit finding a place to sleep.
6/24-26 -- run around London with Jen and Chris catching such amazements as the Tate Modern and Kew gardens
6/27 -- wander about at Stonehenge and Salisbury plain. We didn't have time to see Avebury as well unfortuately. Someday it would be nice to be able to compare the two.
6/28 -- trains and a boat Dublin.
6/29 -- Just three words for you, 'Book of Kells'. There were other things done on this day including much exploring of the city and some very tasty fish and a Guinness. (It is very odd being in Ireland and being the only member of your party that likes beer much less stout.)
6/30 -- Some more museums and such and them Steve and I headed north to Howthe. Which is a little fishing village on the penninsula north of Dublin. There is a trail that winds along the cliffs around the penninsula. The sky was clear and the wind was warm. It was amazing! I think a hiking tour of Ireland is definitely in need of making.
7/1 -- Fly back to the States
That was the abridged version to say the least. I will try to get pictures up at some point soon.
