The day started off cloudy, which is a change after almost three weeks of glorious weather. After hanging out at the record store/coffee house for a while, we went over to the hostel to purchase bus tickets for the next two days. Tomorrow, we’re going to catch the bus to Ballyvaughan to do a day [...]
We finally had a low-energy day, which was pretty nice for a change. We stopped into the local cafe for a cup of coffee and engaged in some mandatory shopping. While in one shop, a very kindly gentleman entered the store, wondering if the shopkeeper had any interest in stocking the book he had written. [...]
One of the benefits of spending several days in one area is finding favorite spots. Usually these take the form of familar sites from home and include pubs or cafes that just feel good.

Hanging out in the hostel in Tralee watching the British Prime Ministerial debates. There’s more meat to these debates than the US Presidential debates, but it’s still a popularity contest amongst politicians who only have their own interests at heart. Nick Clegg is an interesting fellow, but his vague anti-Americanism, is worrisome. David Cameron kinda [...]
