Hey everyone! Can't let Kate tell all the good stories now can I? So what to say about the last three days? Here's some random thoughts about Ireland...
Ireland is everything I imagined it to be. I can honestly say that's never happened to me before. Usually when I get all excited about going somewhere I've never been, I get this notion in my head about what it's going to be like and it never matches up once I get there. Not to say that those places aren't fun, but not like it was in my mind. Ireland however, is EXACTLY as I thought it would be!!!
So what exactly is that? Well everywhere is BEAUTIFUL! There are soft rolling hills everywhere, covered in lush greenery. The hills are mostly covered with grass with lines of trees as the "fencing". Actually there are 2 kinds of fences here in Ireland, Stone and Tree. I think we passed about one house that had a wooden fence.
The vast majority of the land is "farmland". I say that in quotes because One: It doesn't smell. All the farms are free range and the Animals have PLENTY of space to roam around. Two: There are no factory farms. Period. It's a welcome change from rockingham county Virginia where you pass one milk farm or one chicken plant and the area smells horrible for up to 10 miles. Or all the plant farmers that spray poo-based Fertilizer (gathered from factory farms) that make the whole county smell like Toilet. Not Ireland!!!
In fact, that brings me to one of my favorite things about Ireland. EVERYWHERE SMELLS GOOD!!!!! And I mean everywhere. I have not once smelled any pollution, farm smell, dirty smell, or Sewage smell anywhere, including Dublin.
Oh here's another one, every single Burger I've had here tastes downright amazing. I am somewhat of a Burger snob and I can honestly say that the burgers here are the best I've ever had. The meat just tastes amazing. I don't know if it's a spice they add, or if the beef just plain rocks.
