glorious to have such a rapid paced world, for such a rapid paced minD.
or is IT!
seems like it is just floating righT a long, here in the land of Eire!
It is really wild to think, we have been here for a month, because it feels like 6 months, and also like 6 days.
time is really playing with us, huh?
let us see, we are alas, moving on from the cloudy days, here, and on toward the bright sun, of Portugal!! We are both extremely excited, and after the 4 full days of moving from ireland to london to paris to spain to portugal, to souther portugal, we will feel quite accomplished to arrive!
The past few days have been quite a blur, of weeding our asses off and walking in down-pours.
Yesterday was our last day of work in Ireland until September!
We went to Mike's mum's house and weeded her 5 raised beds, and her peas and her raspberries and her onions.
she made us plenty of tea, and then we got so hungry we had to tell her that we had to walk back before she attempted to make us Fish, because in europe, vegetarian, means pescatarian.
Last night we laid low, and did some much needed laundry and read our books, that we are both very absorbed in at the moment. I also looked up on the site, Hop-Stop, (a international subway direction site) how to get from the airport to our hostel and hostel to hostel in london, and so on. Turns out that the hostel we will be staying at on the 3rd, the night before we have to wake up at 4 AM to catch a 5 AM train to paris, is actually right across the street from the International St. Pancras station, so that is just grand!
Paris will be quite a trip, because we have to get from one train station to another, but at least we will have 5 hours to figure it out.
The days before yesterday, were spent doing some last work in Mike's garden, weeding every possible last weed, and we also transplanted some turnips to make room in a bed, for them to spread out , and also transplanted some brussel sprouts.
Twice in the past few days, well two days in a row, we were in town, with out our rain coats, like fools, and got caught in DOWN POURS on the way home. It got to be quite humerous on the second time around when we were drenched and trudging down this long country road in the pouring rain. Really felt like an epic Ireland moment.
On Thursday, Mike tried to have us help him in the forrest, with cutting the large branches off long skinny trees, to have them as logs, however after about 30 mins of me sawing my brains, out and turning my arms to jelly and Chelsey axing with her left hand at twigs, we told him we might be better off in the garden. Was nice of him to let us try though! Our pewny-granola selves just aint that aquired to be Lumberjacks!
We met a man named Will Fix It at the pub on Wednesday, i believe, and he entertained us for most the night, with his dog, Sky who was a search and rescue spaniel that loved fetching leaves and cigarette butts. We seem to attract the most outlandish characters of ireland, and they indeed provide us with Primo Entertainment.
Over all though, Ireland has been a beautiful experience. We are in dyer need of some sunlight and warmth, but beyond that, these rolling hills of ever lasting green could never get old. The people are kind, a tad traditional and simple, and the amount of pubs is always about half of the business on a block.
Today is Saturday, and we would like to go for a walk in the nature preserve down the road. Then tomorrow we will watch the final match of the EuroCup, Italia Vs. Spain.
On monday we catch an 8:40 AM bus, which is the first of 3 busses to take us to Shannon Airport for a flight at 5 PM.
Onward we shall go!
This journey is about to take on a whole new level!
and we are indeed, Ready!
wooooo!
holla back,
