Confimation Letter To Daughter

360 360 to 1 ยบ PART ONE MORE YEAR AND

Hello again. Here we are breaking a promise that we made small. Do not put any journey on the blog, but because of recent comments we have received on the blog, we thought we did have a break last week, of course dedicated to those who still read us from time to time, and they want write some more.

This time, fate has led us to Ireland. Island off England, famous for the Guinness beer, pubs and for the reason that led us there. Mecca. U2's birthplace. And to do pilgrimage at least once in life, we take that played there to live U2 weekend.

What impression we had a boat so soon? Green, very green, rural, wet, nice and hard drive. Very difficult, with these roads without shoulder, whose speed limit is 100 km / h, and it seems that what I say is that this signal is the minimum speed ... And the food .... mmmmmmmm that good and healthy is to eat hamburgers every day with potatoes, or fish and chips, or pizza with potatoes, or potatoes with potato ... certainly know that Ana does not like potatoes?

After the wonderful car with manual transmission (PELIGRO!!) We went towards Galway. City located just across Dublin. So qeu seizing the moment, and as we had to cross the country, we stopped here:


castillo u2

guess someone will sound Well who knows what it is, just say, chincha rapeseed. Personal historical moment.

Galway is a beautiful city, which at times seemed to be lies, with musicians and actions at all hours through the streets and pubs, street art and much much tourist. That seemed to Columbus Street. Great atmosphere, lots of street life. Okay. Advisable. Here we had our first encounter with the wonderful local food and was the beginning of the couple of kilos fatter.

From there we made a couple of days of hiking with our machine to devour miles. The first day to the area known as Connemara. An area with coves, many incoming and outgoing sea, etc ... not bad, but expected a bit more.
At least we saw the typical postcard from Ireland to the fields and stone walls

Next day in the area known as The Burren. Very cool way. You go through all kinds of landscapes running out of the Cliffs of Moher. For just one example.

After driving all morning, you get to the famous Cliffs of Moher. Very large and advisable to walk a little to the south where you can go with something more tranquil.

By the way, if you see a storm in the distance, running the car or shelter, if you go over ready catches you without realizing it, and there if you get wet it is cold as hell ...

under the rain

Believe us that the rain and wind with an umbrella of Chinese and a cliff of 200 meters to a few feet is not going very well.

In the following days, we drove to Dublin road, stopping in cities like Kilkenny, Ennis and a few more. Basically they are a bit the same. Small, with the main street with pubs, (where these magnificent and healthy eating hamburgers), the Gothic church and the clouds on the horizon.

Remember to choose this color for your next home.

And finally and most importantly we got to Dublin. Promised land and end the exodus .... continued ...
