... the beauty. As you can imagine my legs were quite dead so that ride was short lived. I then went back to Cork to see a girl I had met on my last night there. It was great company for my last night. Sorry mom, she may have stolen my heart. She was a beautiful blonde, irish girl from the small town of Wicklow. Mom and Lisa, don't say anything embarrasing on my facebook because she's on there. Kidding, but not really. So today is my last day in Ireland. It's sad but I've realized its finally ...

... while. We got dinner at a little restaurant along the main drag and I had fish and chips, which was really yummy! We took the train back to Cork and went out with the majority of the group from UL. I didn't stay out very late because I didn't want to be really tired on Sunday because we were going on a walking tour. So on Sunday we did the walking tour, which was pretty interesting and we got to see a lot of the different areas of ...

... that threatened to take me off my feet. Luckily by backpack weighs about a thousand pounds so I was able to survive. I quickly found my hostel which was conveniently located right next to the train station. I was thinking that the hostel may not be as social as I wandered around and really only ran into people who couldn't speak english very well, but then I met two brothers from London and a Boston fire fighter. We immediately ...

The Blarney Stone is at the top of the castle. You have to sit down and bend over backwards to kiss the stone below you. I made sure I went further down than then other people up there. I guess one advantage of being tall. Don't think I caught anything from the experience.

Also walked around the grounds and saw the house they live in now.

... our view, Permaculture will become an adaptible practice by a diverse range of families and individuals world-wide. Urban Permaculture (for example) is a prominent option for many, and even with a small amount of space there is still very much adaptations that can be accomplished with a little Education & Will. And even Rural Permacultures have to start somewhere. In most cases, we have a house and land which can be assessed and ...

... more wrong turns and u-turns) we decide we've had enough of Cork and head to our next stop - Cobh. Cobh sits on a large island in Cork harbor. Since our ancestry is Irish - we learned there's a good chance that this town was the last Irish soil our ancestors had under their feet. Cobh was the major port of Irish emigration in the 19th century. We checked out the Heritage Center where we learned about Anne Moore and her 2 younger brothers. She was 15 and trying to get to ...

... joined the boat, mostly in 3rd class, to die a few days later). Back on the track... I started walking towards Trabolgan from White Gate, someone offered me a ride on the way and I went back home. I ate, read a little, did the laundry... Oh, yeah, why was I happy this morning? Am I keeping the suspense long enough? (note: I'm reading Mary Higgins Clark) Ok, fine! I'll tell you! I talked to Chesda on the phone! ^^ It felt good to hear his voice (and to see that he's still ...

... my voice extinction forced me to change my plans for the night (meaning I didn't call Ches). I think you got the essential of my day (I HAVE A NEW ROOM!) so I'll go to bed. Bye bye! p.s.: there's only one bed in my new room, so that means there's absolutely no way I'll be waken up in the middle of the night by someone turning the light on! Yay! 10 mai 2007/10th May, 2007 Je vous écrit à partir de ma NOUVELLE CHAMBRE! Sharon a fait changé la serrure et j'ai une cl ...

... than the US. One thing I love is that at grocery stores you have to pay 15 cents for a grocery bag if you don't bring your own. That saves them thousands of bags a day that won't make there way to a landfill. Oh well I should get to the good part. Shane and Eva took me out to Kinsale where I got to get a good ribbing from the Pianist who ...
