Today was a chore day. I was up pretty early, I had to be to fit everything in. I had to wash my clothes, get a box from the post office, dry the clothes, pack the box and get it back to the post office before closing time. All the while I was updating the blog, organizing pictures and watching Airplane II. This is the dirty side of travel. As opposed to the dark side.
Even though I was stuck inside I was glad that it was a sunny day. Or it was until it started to hail. I had never seen anything like it. Each piece of hail was the size of a dime. Car alarms went off all over the place. It was nuts.
By the time Michele and Rory got back from work I was just about caught up with everything. It had been a long day, but at least a productive one.
The three of us headed off to their local pub, Harry Byrns. Knowing that it was my last night in Ireland I thought that it was only appropriate for me to have a Guinness. It was not nearly as bad as I remembered, but it will never be a favorite of mine. We ended the night with pizza and Wii bowling.
I was quite sad that my time in Ireland had come to an end. I had really had a great time exploring the country and spending time with Rory and Michele. Today also marked the one month anniversary of my being on the road. This is not my first big trip, but it is the first one where I am on the move constantly. Already I can tell that this trip was worth all the hard work and everything that I sacrificed for it.

We loved having you stay with us in Ireland, Kathryn, and glad that you enjoyed your stay! Also nice to hear that you are enjoying the sun and warmth in Portugal. Although the last 2 days here have been warm and sunny...well, for Ireland! Be careful, stay safe and live it up!! xxx Michele & Rory
