Late again, I KNOW! It's just that I'm awfully busy washing my clothes (by hand), shopping, cooking, walking to college, moving... Yes! Last week I moved again - into a room on the "quiet" side of my student village. That's what I thought at that time, at any rate. Now I know: there is no quiet side! Drunk people are a plague; they are everywhere. In addition I am facing now a nursery called Pebbled Pathways - Childcare with a difference. A very dear friend who came to see me (I will not name her, I will not name her, noooo, I will not name her:-)) thought that it was a nursery for handicapped children, but it really is the childcare that is considered to be different - not the children themselves! Indeed I assure you: these children are quite normal, they scream and cry as children everywhere else...
Yesterday I joined the international students on a trip to Inis Mor. We took the ferry from Galway and when we arrived on the island, we saw about 15 bus drivers fighting for tourists. So - you walk along the pier and all you hear is: Bus tour? Bus tour? Bus tour? Bus tour? At the same time you are stuffed with leaflets and brochures.
You see: these bus tours are highly recommendable - you learn an awful lot: "On the left hand side, we see a chicken, a chicken, yes. On the right hand side, there is one of the three Catholic churches on the island. We now pass two goats. There are three Catholic churches on the island. Three churches, yes. We now pass a house that is for sale." (That was for all the ones that did not see the enormous sign "for sale"). "Over there is water for the cattle, for the cattle, yes."
Let me see, yes, I'll prepare some pictures for you. By the way: There should be a comment button just below the article... Hit it and drop me a line :-)
New quote, new quiz.

If I remember correctly, a few years back, I was there as well. And, yes, we did a bus tour, but I can't remember the driver's comments ;-) It only rained once that day, but the cliff and the remains of a fort were impressing. 100 metres or not: I was lying flat on my belly in order to watch the sea rolling in. The emerald (no kidding) water was luring me on. Amazing sight! Actually, I should have a picture somewhere.
