A bottle of Killarney and the Copper Coast with a Cork on top
Only in country the size Ireland can one person see a Castle, beaches, emerald and sapphire water, sheer cliffs, rolling countryside, winding roads, sheep, cows, roads barely wide enough to pass 2 cars, city busses, factories, Cathedrals that have smog damage, all the stores you could want, an irish bar, and a chinese restaurant to end the day...well almost end the day, at least to the point that I'm writing this.
So I've noticed that there seems to be three types of restaurants here...the pub, the Indian restuarant, and the Chinese restaurant. You cannot get corned beef and cabbage in the Indian restuarant, but you can get beef vindaloo, which I've only seen on the the menu once before. The Chinese restaurant had Chicken Maryland on the menu, which I didn't actually ask about, but maybe I should have.
There's a town called Tragore, which has a great beach, a boardwalk, and an amusement park called Splashwater. Seems like a fun place to live, and definately a chance at a simplier life...actually we drive through what life really could be today...it boils down to having your health, beautiful nature, and living from one day to the next for the people on the southern coast of ireland. They definately have traditions, and much of them seem to revolve around simple pleasures...don't need a big screen TV to enjoy a fresh egg in the morning.
So the other day, we met a guy named Tim...he's from New Zealand and he's waiting for his paperwork to play rugby for the Dutch...crazy world...he's been in Ireland for the last 6 months just living off of savings and picking up a few bucks here and there...what a life...but he did have the BSM going...and he was into betting all the porn in the world...go figure.
okay, so maybe this post sounded like it was going to be philosophical, but as it turns out it's not...just to cap it with something to think about though...
when you are driving along, admiring the scenery, avoiding the brush on the side of the road, not entirely sure if you are on the right road or not...slowing down to see a town here or there as you drive through...swerving into the stopping area to get yet another picture...and everything that's 'normal' is a half a world away...
nothing...exactly nothing else is on your mind...and that is wonderful.
