from darkness to light in 5 miles

hello!! so i am writing this on my iphone so forgive my briefness.. but yesterday was Someeee Day! started out with Stiofan driving us South to Cork city where it was pouring rain & we caught a bus to Killarnery. the bus driver was a tadd too slow & we missed the last bus to Caherciveen! So we were walking with all our luggage and not a Clue as to the highway direction, in the pouring rain & wind. Somethin Else i tell ya. really was testing our trust in this universe! and so it goes... a gas attendent gave me some directions i didnt understand and so we just held up our sign and hoped for an angel. luckily we got 4! 1 man said we had to go in the opposite direction that we "wont get anyone to stop there" soo we cross the street and hold our sign, another man comes to tell us we have to walk through the down & up the hill for a ride.. soooo we trudge through the rain and get up the hill. By this time our sign is soaked as are our faces & along comes another man who told us we must go Up the road a bit! after seeing our discouraged faces he said Get In, and took us, alas Right where we needed to be to catch a ride to Cahersiveen... bout 5-8 miles from where we were. we only waited then, maybe 8 minutes before a lovely young girl named Caroline picked us up & took us right where we needed to be! she even lent me her phone to call Anthea & tell her we had arrived in the town! anthea said for us to wait in a pub & sent 2 young gals from dublin who were working for her to come get us! so we definitely had some cider & relished in our success!!! the gals came & took us in their car & onto a car ferry!!(way cool!). then we arrived in Knightstown, the super small village on the super small Island. Anthea runs a super cute cafe & gave us tea & fresh pizza when we arrived! we really changed extremes since our last spot! anthea is running around like a nut because they are hosting the first music festival on the island in September & tonight is the kickoff party for it. we are housed in a tiny beach house type thing where anthea's sister lives or lived...we cant really tell. this shall be an interesting experience for sure! the island is quite beautiful & has stunning views of mountains on the main land! will do m'best to keep posted! cheeers! -mimi
