Ireland

So tomorrow, I'll be done with stage one of my trip. I'm pretty glad to be moving on but Ireland is one of the coolest places I've been to.

Disreguard the big blue writing. Basically, we started in Tralee and walked through bogs, beaches, farms and on roads to Camp, Anascaul, Dingle, Cloghane, Castlegregory, and then bussed back to Tralee this morning. Over all it was about 60 miles. And with 50 pounds of gear each, it was pretty rough. Dingle was rad. We just happened to be there the day after christmas, which is St. Stephen's day and in Ireland that means lets get trashed on good beer and dance in the streets, so needless to say, we had a good old time. A live band played Irish folk songs all night, it was awesome. Its been pretty easy to find places to stay. There is a lot of livestock here so grassy fields are pretty easy to come buy and the people dont usually mind if you hop their fence and set up camp. The only problems we've come across were wind, and rain. Oh and we were in a field by the beach in Cloghane and a fisherman warned us that we should keep "a listening watch" for a big bull that lives there. But we never saw it so it worked out. Tomorrow we leave Ireland for Germany and Amsterdam for new years.
Cheers,
-Brian

Glad you guys are having fun!
And you say Ireland is one of the coolest places you've been, but I have a feeling you'll be saying "_____ is one of the coolest places I've been" a lot in the next few months.
