Well, we're in Ireland. And I can barely begin to describe how wonderful it is. We saw the Cliffs of Moher in the first few days... on my birthday actually, which was wonderful beyond any kind of belief. I also started sketching again while I was there, which brought a lot of people over to look at me, including this guy that brought his entire family over to look at me. Which was akward, but fun. Very enjoyable. I like compliments, even if I havent sketched in over a year.
We also went to Doolin pubs in the evenings to listen to traditional music, which was fantastic. Not something you experience anywhere but here. I suppose thats obvious though.
Doolin is this buttfuck town in nowhere Ireland. And its wonderful. Its a hopping traditional music scene, even though theres nothing around it for miles and miles. Thats sort of fine though. It happens.
Then we went to work on a farm, which was indescribably awesome. Like, completely nuts, but awesome. And... I have ab definition. Thats right, I have abs. For the first time in my entire life. Although even though I looked fantastic, I was dirty as shit. We couldnt use much water (they had a shallow well, water was limited), so we didnt shower for... 7 days. Jesus fuck. I felt horrible, although the shower I took after seven days of horrible shit was the greatest thing ever.
We used manly weapons to chop down brambles. This one thing called a slasher, which I prefer to call a glaive, as its weapon form (not farm tool) is called.
Now we're in Dingle, which is exciting, although I'm trying to figure out how to get us down to Portmagee to get to see the Skelligs.
So... if anyone helps me with that (a lot of websites arent working from this internet cafe, which is very upsetting (especially considering that one of them is the bus eireann website)) I'd be in your debt, If you figure something out, email me. I'm not even sure how to get there by public transportation as it is, and its going to cost out the ass too, so... well, I'm a bit upset. Help?
Just find transport from Dingle to Portmagee, or Valentia island. Or Derrynane, Ballinskelligs or Cahirciveen. Any of those. That would really make my day.

Make my day please.
But things are still going really well.
Oh. And KARLA IS HERE. Which is just about the greatest thing ever. Jesus may as well have risen from the grave (again, the bastard). This trip continues to improve.
Basically the greatest thing ever. Yup.

I can´t help you with transportation, as I am in two completely different hemispheres from you (Southern and Western Hemispheres Represent!) but I just want to tell you how happy I am that you have this blog. Reading this was like getting a big Woozy hug all the way from Europe. I´m so excited to live with you next year.

I just emailed you because I'm great like that.
You seriously don't want me helping you with travel plans.
Like it would just be a very bad idea.
But I am super jealous of your farming fun! Are the vegetables fantastic?
