... over the ditch- not even a crackling of branches to indicate her exit.

As we climbed out of the valley the wind blew up – pushing great plumes of icy snow off the top of Faneneirin ridge. The snow squeaked underfoot and our ...

... inside.
We also visited the National Museum. That had a display of old Irish stuff. The highlight were the bogmen. These are bodies that have been preserved in the bogs for hundred and some cases thousands of years. They looked like they were covered in leather. It was spooky how well the bodies were preserved including the hair.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Do you?

... those in London opted for colors instead! The guidebook also informed me, by the way, that the doors were wide to accomodate the gowns of the ladies at the time), and by the glass arches above the doors. We kept going until we got to Number 29, a home that was first purchased in about 1794 by a young widow who needed a place for herself and her 4 children. This home has been restored by the National Trust (or some such group) and furnished as per the period. They have ...

... we learned about Ireland's history--a history in which a government had money they didn't know how to spend. So they made a statue of unknown significance (a pillar they call the stelleto in the ghetto) and fought the people over a plaque commemorating a nonexistent person. We ended the tour and saw cameras flashing and paparazzi everywhere.and there,there stood kevin James--AKA Doug Heffernon from King of Queens or mall cop security dude, only a foot away. So what ...

... cold and I just got really wet but I was loving it! It felt so freaking pure and I felt great just laughing out load and feeling really grateful on how great my life is. Got back home and Steve came home shortly afterwards, we made dinner together and just had a great mellow early night like. One thing I love about Stephen is how he's very into setting the mood, he's all chill music, lit candles and insense and just rainbow rhythms all the way. : ) And thats it . Here we are. Wednesday.

... that was pretty cool. it was victorian in design, and it had a pretty awesome winding staircase. i got some nice pictures in there. then we went to one of the largest parks in europe, phoenix park. the boys played frisbee while i.....went to sleep in the grass :) i know, i know, i shouldnt be sleeping in europe, i probably should have at least looked at the park, but i was soooooo tired!! theres a subway right by our hostel, so i have been frequenting it lol. we keep ...

... how he's decorating for Easter. It all sank in at that very moment that Easter is usually the time that i head to MN for one of my quarterly visits to see my munchkins....not this time though...and it will be way to long until i get to see them next. Was hard to keep my composure when talking to him so not to scare him...but the minute he says, 'do you want to talk to Piper?' the phone gets handed over but its actually his mother...i loose it ...

... at the start, population, currency, telephone code etc, and you can quickly find the section you want. However, RG is a much more readable guidebook. Often, the local history and information in the RG is better but you sometimes have to hunt through text for hostel numbers etc. Also, the RG seems to cater for the more upmarket hotel, B&B people with a few hostels mentioned at the end. LP also caters for these kind of travellers but I think they cover the low budget ...

... My heart is in Ireland, and I can't seem to concentrate (probably having to do with the lack of sleep & jet lag... although I did just sleep 11 hours last night...). 5 more weeks of class till I graduate. thank God. I have got to move there one day. To work in a socialized healthcare setting... not having to deal with feckin insurance... getting 4-5 weeks off per year... travelling around Europe on weekends. It felt like home.
