The weekend started off on the road and the drive was mindblowing. I've never experienced a drive like that, the scenery was unreal. We made a stop in this town to take some quick pics. Awesomeness. And then we were on our way to the Cliffs of Moher! After the Cliffs we drove to a nearby city called Lahinch that is right on the water. Aidan booked us a hostel a few minutes walk from the beach for 20 Euros (each) that included breakfast. Such a steal! That night we........ well went to another concert of course! That makes three in one week. It was one of the best nights I've had thus far. Met so many chill people.
We went to dinner in Lahinch at a cafe that is owned by a friend of Aidan's, and the Irish woman who was our host was like lazered in on me. Hahaha. Everyone else was invisible except me, and she basically asked me to spend a day with her in Ennis. Good times.
The next day we had an amazing time walking around the beach and in the town a little bit. It was such a blissful day.
There is something about walking barefoot on the beach that is like instant inspiration. I was entranced in the thought of having my own farm on the beach, and how perfect that would be. With the warm sand under my feet, the sun beaming me its warmth, the salty air invigorating my senses, the sound of waves crashing on the beach, the sound of the wind blowing sand across the ground, it was like an orchestrated masterpiece. Who's to say you can't have an intimate relationship with nature?
We went to lunch this day at a place that specialized in local food, it was so good! Anderson asked for some juice, and because he's still learning English, he said, "can I get some schooce?" To which she said, "huh?" Hahah the way he said it was hilarious. We've been laughing so hard about that everyday now, sometimes randomely yelling, "WHAT IS SCHOOOCE?" or "WHO ORDERED THE SCHOOOCE?"
The work has been great, a lot of variety. We didn't work more than 20 hours last week and we're always jammin to some tunes so it makes it nice!
Night runs are so nice here, because it doesn't get dark until around 11 and the weather has been brilliant.
Life is exhilarating. I'm off to a new farm tomorrow.
Wow, amazing pictures!
