Well now I'm in Ennis and if you get out your maps and look towards the middle western part of Ireland, you'll find another small busy Irish town. So far the communities are all open and friendly. Go to a bar and people are waiting to get to know who you are and where you are going. Being on the move I begin to meet other people who also like to be free and choose their own destiny. I've met quite a few French travelers who say they would rather choose any place besides France. I will have to see for myself what France is like to know how they feel. There is very little changing around me and I'm beginning to slow down my pace and try to enjoy my surroundings. Tried some horse riding today! They are just a bunch of fun.
The host that I'm staying with is a great open minded guy he doesn't have anybody else living with him on the farm, so the reason he enjoys workawayer's is mostly for their company the kind of work I'm doing so far is very little and it's more of a vacation than anything else. I'm beginning to think that I may never need my tent. Only a sleeping bag and the comforter are really necessary because I want some more cloths to fit into my bag.
My host also enjoys collecting the older landrover defender's he has 5 of these great jeep like trucks. I was able to drive the one above and they were alot of fun. It was a great joy. The little loft like cabin picture above is where I'm staying on his farm it's really quite comfortable. Today was quite a full day I was able to find an old bike and ride into town. I was feeling the need to buy an Irish jacket because it is starting to get a little colder.
I wasn't too happy there was a guard rail... So I got bored and wanted to leave if there was no thrill. Then we kept walking on...
I was super excited that they let room for the visitors with more gutts to be able I take their life in their own hands and literally walk right to the edge. On the trail leading to the cliff there was suicide hotline numbers because the amount of people that would take their life here was so high. The views from the edge of the cliff where so thrilling I felt my palms go sweaty and my legs turned to jelly. If only the cliff was lower so I could have jumped off into the water and have a swim, what a thrill!!
A night in the town of Galway we went bar hopping checking out the different bars and taking salt/tequila/lime shots. the crowds were thick and I was carded every time we went to a new bar even though the legal age is 18. When I say bar I don't mean a regular bar. Because here the bars are more like clubs (5bars in one building all connected by walkways into different rooms) which was also accompanied by some live music.
The most common thing here is that every body has horses so ofcourse I did a little ridding here and there mostly at the beach!

ReplyDeleteYou're adjusting so well...It'll be interesting to see what place 'captures' you and the aspects of it that make it so attractive. Geography aside, it inevitably people that make a place so inviting. Your pics of Ireland bring chills to our arms, but your accounts of their hospitality warm our hearts.
Keep writing. You're becoming quite the craftsmen.
