This is the beginning of day five in Dublin. Originally I'd planned to go to Galway next, but after some reading decided it wouldn't be my thing. I'm still planning to visit some other areas in Ireland and Britain, but for the sake of nice weather I decided to switch things around a bit and hit the mainland(and more southern areas) first. After a hellish time trying to book a Ryanair flight to Porto(their website & hidden fees suck), I decided instead to take a long "cruise ferry" to Cherbourg, and from there hopefully rail to Paris
Dublin has been a lot of fun, my only real complaint has been weather a bit colder than I expected. The main city is very compact, and other than the bus from the airport, my feet are the only transportation I've used. Six days in the city would probably normally be two more than necessary, but the extra time has been a lifesaver in allowing me to decompress and do some shopping & planning that I never finished in the US
Pictures will be coming at some point - the fact that I'm shooting in RAW mode and trying to use an iPod Touch in place of a laptop is making the upload -> convert -> flickr process a bit more complicated than it otherwise would be
Hey thanks for the great blog, I love this stuff. I’ve been paying more attention to politics lately, but my focus is always on the environment and how important it is. I know Earth Day has already passed us by, but with everyone going green these days, I thought I’d try to do my part.
I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don’t plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April?... I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.
I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
