At last in the land of leprechauns

I've made it to Ireland, finally, after an entire day on a bus, an entire day on a plane, and some other minor misadventures in between.

The place I am staying is very nice: it's two bedrooms, not a studio like I had initially been informed. So plenty of room. It's in a beautiful location. But in the middle of nowhere. The towns in either direction are two hours away by foot, so I should be in pretty good shape by the time I leave.

There seems to be a lot to see in the very near vicinity, so I should have enough activities to occupy myself, and I'll probably also take a trip into Dublin to see the Guinness and Jameson factories.

I'll be here about a month, and then it's back across the Atlantic and home again.
