Day three snuck up of us. Usually by day three I am exhausted and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. But today I had an “oh, shit, it’s day three” moment. I wasn’t ready for it to be over, not yet. We started our day with Mt. Joy. I was surprised at how … [Read more…]
Day two, here we go. And once again, not a single cloud in the sky. Happy Forecastle, indeed. Today, we were in for a slower-paced day – the acts we were interested in were more spread apart today, which was a relief. Having some downtime was a blessing. Day one kinda wiped us out.

Ireland is easily one of the most scenic places I’ve ever been. The architecture, the ruins, the sweeping landscapes, it’s all remarkable. Our trip was pretty well balanced between the city and the scenery – but I will save our full itinerary for another post. For now, I’m here to tell you about the five … [Read more…]
