man, there are a lot of sheep here

but more importantly....wow.
i've spent much of the last week in complete awe of my surroundings.
also met some brilliant fun people and had perhaps more than my share of pints at this point.
so many things i've seen/felt/lived i cannot possibly put it all here or in a way you could experience much of it vicariously, but... here are a couple notes.

• ireland=lovely unabashed music, pints, passion~good and bad
• scotland=mist, moors, plaid, and whiskey
• the generics of both=castles, ruins, amazing natural scenes, good people
• hostels stays=much snoring **grin**, comraderie, pub jaunts
• tours=great history lessons, tons of new friends, much laughter (if'n it's a good'n)

okay. i have taken 1 zillion pictures. i do believe some of them got deleted so i am not happy with that, but i will be posting some faves whence i return.

i'm off to practice my carousing. cheers to you all, and thanks for the emails. feel free to send more :)
