Can't believe how much time has gotten by between posts...attempts to get the internet at the garden have failed three times now and we have resolved ourselves to the fact that it's not coming at all. We have been at the garden here for a little over a month, and despite the good times, it is time to be movin' on.
We were supposed to leave Ireland a week ago, but we are enjoying the country and have not gotten to see much of it due to the transportation and internet situation. Sooo...we have rescheduled our plane tickets to allow us to take a couple of weeks to cycle around the country. As you may know, we are not cyclists, nor are we in shape, so there is no telling how long this will last. It could turn out great...it could be a terrible idea, but that's the fun part of traveling. We have gotten together all of the gear, and thanks to a handful of new friends, we have borrowed some things and have only had to spend $100. The plan is to leave this Sunday and head west toward Galway. We have a campground directory and a map and that is the extent of the plan (we are getting better about not planning) Hope to be able to post pictures and make calls, and we'll do it as soon as we get some legit internet.
The bike trip will be our last hurrah in Ireland and then Krista and I will be parting ways for a while. She has bought her ticket home for early August, and I leave for Bangkok on August 25th. Worry not, we plan to reunite and things are still going very well for us. To everyone that we wanted to meet for Oktoberfest...I have had to face up to the black and white (or more accurately the black and red) and the fact that Europe is very expensive and if i stayed in it until October I would be completely broke instead of almost broke. I wish it wasn't so, but there are many fests yet to come I am sure, and I'll have to take a rain check for another year.
Sorry for the "all at once" news blast, but as always i never know when the next opportunity will come. Hope all is well with everyone...and to be in touch soon...
