If you are coming to Ireland for a special occasion consider staying at this sweet castle.<br><br>In Westport we checked into our great B&amp;B. It's no castle but it is right downtown and there was even a music festival going on about half a block ...

... I were a mountain. She wanted to put it in her book as an example of metaphor. I think I even received like 20 bucks for it and a few years later found her book and my poem in a local bookstore. I think it took 12 more years to write poetry again (which I believe I mailed to the singer Jewel, who was obsessed with for a few months). Since then I've written, usually as a way to find myself when lost in the tortured labyrinths of love. Only in ...

... of them were quite funny! Next night was Indpendance day and the hostel had a BBQ (despite the rain!). We then headed down to the Freeway (which I think is like a motor way!) which was closed, to see watch the fireworks over NY city. It was amazing (despite the rain and ruining of my new shows which meant I had to walk most the way in bare feet!) and some of the fireworks were ones I'd never seen before! They had hearts and boxes and smiley faces! So cool! On ...

... display screen on the back has gone all white so you can't see what you're pointing at, although it does still take pictures. I've been on to the insurance and they arn't really being very helpful, I have to provide all sorts of information for them, oh well it's just another anoying thing that I need to sort out. We're going to get another camera tomorrow I think. (Budget is groaning!) So please bear this in mind when you see the pics for NY. The Top of the ...

... forest walks - just gorgeous! Also got into some classic American nosh - bagels and cream cheese, Mochachino's with Cream!!, Tacho Bell, Wendy's, and the biggest Pizza I have ever ever seen!!! Bob and Gail also took us out to the Storm King Arts Centre Sculpture Gardens, an amazing property full of sculptures, including Calder &amp; Caro. Had Tim all inspired!! On the way home we also spotted passed the famous/imfamous West Point Military Academy.

... on the cathedral was halted, because the then-bishop felt that the church's funds would better be spent on works of charity, and because America's subsequent involvement with the Second World War greatly limited available manpower. Apparently the stone carvers all went off and joined up the war effort. We walked around the seven almost fully restored chapels radiating from behind the choir. These (per the brochure and wikipedia) are each in a distinctive nationalistic ...

... Rounded river rocks made up the floor and the inside was surprisingly angular as compared to its circular exterior. I exited out the other way and headed towards Dun Aengus, a 2000 BC Celtic fort. On my way through narrow paved roads that meandered past small cottages I noticed two white shaggy dogs and a kid (goat) with a blue collar. Not knowing how to proceed the choice was made for me as all three bolted towards me. I had apparently come across the three in mid play ...

... am paying 30 cents a minute to type this journal entry, so I have to be quick! When I get home, I will go back to these entries and insert photos, just so I can keep a record for myself.! We got to the airport in plenty of time, parked in the brand new garage, and proceeded to the JetBlue gate, where we discovered Paul's 2nd grade teacher and her husband, on their way to New York on the same plane to ...
