Thanks for the comments. Reminds me I don't actually live here...not yet anyway.
Wow! Had the most amazing day yesterday. Finished with the long walks and now the speed is picking up a bit. Was walking into Waterville and decided 3 days was enough of the Kerry Way. Hitched a ride and it took me to Cahersiveen, the Sive Hostel, a full laundry, pub and brew and the booking for a day trip to the Skelling Islands off the coast. All happened so fast, I am still spinning.
These monks built a remote site back in the 600's. Yes, folks, twas a long time ago. Carved this monestary out of the cliffs. The little island is home to 20,000 gannets. Spectacular ride out and hike up the cliffside. The steps used to be closed to tourists, but are now open. Definitely a trip of a lifetime. Ranks up there with climbing Masada in Israel.
Now I'm in Galway after a long bus trip. Have booked a bus/ferry/B&B combo for the large Aran Island tomorrow (all hostels booked..it is the weekend...oh well). That's where Dun Angeus is (the picture that starts off this blog)
Whew! Skellig Michael. An astounding experience

-Just got back online after 4 days away from San Miguel, will blog tommorrow

-I then see you have moved up to amazing, spectacular, priceless, and astounding on the 12th.

-No there have been no Polish accents in Mexico, in fact other than the 'many' American Expats in SMA, I have run into very few non Spanish speaking people--and the last 4 days were Indian dialects even I recognize as 'non-Spanish.
-Looking forward to buying you a Corona next weekend!
-Note the Wildcat Canoe trip is now only Sunday and Monday--one night--give it a thought--Big Fire, eh!
