... and got a great big "welcome home" from the guy who was working the kitchen/reception/doorman/guard, who we for sure woke up and got him to make us chicken salad sandwiches on the house, while we battled with each other on the floor (classy), and then battled with him about American versus Canadian accents, and Irish versus English versus Scottish accents. You cant tell the difference unless you are one of them or they are one of us. You just cant ...

so i haven't updated in a while and i have about 6 entries that i need to post, but i've been super busy with midterms! i miss everyone and this weekend i will hopefully be posting pictures and entries of everything that i did while i was in the UK. i just wanted to let everyone know that i'm ok and just trying to power through all this school work.

... as to Canada, Argentina and Australia. 3 million left from the early 1800's to 1970. It is also the port from which the Titanic and the Lusitania sailed on theri last vogages.

We ended up in Kinsale, visited an amazing stone fort there (Charles Fort), had dinner and headed for "home". Our only real adventure was getting though Cork on our way home- we literally went in circles under the guidance of the GPS. And thank God we had it or we'd be there still!

... cash. The manager had already sent a bottle of wine to our room (of course not knowing we do not drink). They have been trying to catch up to us for 2 days, with us off galavanting around the countryside.

... of the original wall, it may have undergone rebuilding and repair due to its maintenance as a field boundary and due to the use of its N section as a boundary between the townlands of Gallarus and Ballynana. An internal dividing wall isolates the SE sector, containing the oratory, leacht and cross-slab, from the remainder. This, too, was in use in the 19th century as a field boundary (2nd edition OS map). The area to E of it is raised slightly above the remainder of the interior ...

... I wasn't complaining! While everyone was down the road at the pub, I wandered around the grounds and sat on the stone wall that surrounded the church and let the wind blow in my face! Wonderful and peaceful feeling. I know I keep saying this, but I do believe that Corcomoe Abbey is my favorite place so far! I think I could spend days here, just wandering the Burren!
