06/21 Northern Ireland

It was raining a bit and we had a couple of open containers.  The roads were narrow with no extra space to speak about.   I knew if we got stuck behind another logging truck we could be here for weeks.  Once we managed to pass a couple of these trucks we began to make up for some lost time.  Jim began complaining that his bladder couldn’t take much more of this abuse but before I was willing to pull over, I wanted to put enough distance between ourselves and the logging trucks.  (more…)

Poem 011 Pissed

In one single heartbeat an unrecognized beauty, pissed

Itinerary 4

While in Dublin we decided it would be in our best interest to rent a car rather than bicycling or hitching. We headed south along the coast, gradually heading west toward the Ring of Kerry. We then headed north along the western coast and when we reached the Northern Ireland’s boarder we traveled east back towards Dublin. After our rental car was totaled we took a train south to the port of Rossiare and from there charted a ferry across the channel to France.
