Clarence Hotel Sligo

... work into his costume and it showed. Mel went as a 50&#8217;s girl, her friend Laura as Betty Boop and her boyfriend Ray as a 70&#8217;s cop. I got my idea from Mel and went as a babe magnet. I dressed in black and pasted pictures of hot guys all over me. It was a fun idea!<br><br>The only problem we had for the night was the same as in Calgary, taxis!! We had to wait 2 hours for one. We walked in the pouring rain to try and get a better chance of hailing a cab but that didn&#8217;t ...

Our dear friend Helen from Kelowna, BC came to visit us&#8230;. I believe it was the week we were finishing school. So it was the end of May.<br><br>Just before she came, we got a new little car. Well, its not new, but it was for us. After a year of hitching around Ireland and using the worst public transport system I've ever come across, we thought it was about time to find some wheels. So it was good timing when Helen came, cause we were just ...

... mistress of the house threw the menu down to the staff from a balcony above so that she did not have to step foot into the kitchen....wow...now i know how im going to remodel the kitchen,,,,all for now please read and tell your friends about this great travel blog so we can get some advertisers to sponsor for clothes for our poor shoeless father.....love you all....Sister Carolyn.<br><br>Nothing from Sister Leigh tonight - he's in bed in his really dirty clothes.

... towards Sligo, our stop for the night...we stopped on the way at a church in Drumcliffe where Willam Butler Yeats was buried and took photos in the rain before reaching out hotel, the Southern in the middle of Sligo around 5pm.<br> The hotel room was pretty fancy, we ended up with a double and single bed again, so this time the double is mine. I swear I am going to come down with the bus cold tomorrow but hoping an early night will ...

... l'ostello è in una zona di uffici, un po' desolante. Io e Diego andiamo a correre nei dintorni dell'ostello. C'è una bella zona di villette e un percorso ci porta fino al mare. Questa periferia sembra molto ricca, alcune ville hanno un parco privato. Invidia.<br>La sera io e Diego tentiamo una sortita a Sligo, in cerca di musica, ma la città non offre granchè e torniamo rapidamente a vedere Di Caprio alla TV nella hall dell'ostello insieme agli altri ospiti.<br><br>

... house now on the market... hopefully not for too long! So, my nights have been filled with sorting and packing while my days have been spent back at the Mercy, my old school, from which I am still officially on career break until the 31st August, but in which I am now gainfully employed as a sub. Oh, the pain!!!! It has been wonderful to be away from the classroom for so long and it is tortuous to once more be condemned to pass my ...

... they had booked in a little town in Co. Leitrim....had to get directions to the place from a local pub....interesting directions were given, and they wanted to know why i wasn't staying for a pint!!....found the B&amp;B, however, nobody answered the door even though there were cars park outside! we tried at 4p, 4:30p and 5p, nothing, then i had to use a bathroom, so we headed back into the little town and found a pub and went in and asked if they had rooms as well, and ...

... morning we missed climbing St. Patrick's Mountain, the Holy Reek, where Paddy spent an entire Lenten season in the 5th century, because the rain and wind kept us from it. It's been hovering around 55 degrees since we got here, which is infuriating given that's what's around the corner in Chicago. Although, we are farther north than Newfoundland...

... flocks of sheep skittering along the roads. <br><br> By evening we had reached Letterkenny, a stone&#8217;s throw away from the border with Northern Ireland, and were soon in the midst of our now well established pattern of finding a B&amp;B for the night before heading into the town centre in search of a reasonably-priced pub dinner.

Co Donegal<br><br>Killibeg to Donegal<br>Gotta love this city!<br><br>This loop, from Ballintoy to Malin Head and down to Killibeg then Donegal was a tough ~ 175 miles ~ <br><br>Peace agreement was not observed between political parties, therefore, curfew is mandatory and we have to stay in house. That sucks! <br>
