In about 10 hours I'll be officially leaving Ireland and I'll be off to Ohio for three weeks....tear! Not that I am not excited to visit the sisters in Ohio because I am but...this evening I realized that I will be very sad to leave Ireland. So no more posts for probably three weeks.
Apparently I've become quite attached to Ireland.....not surprisingly! It is probably because it reminds me of Nova Scotia. ohhh beautiful Nova Scotia.
But yes, back to Irleand. Last night I had my last night in Ballybofey and we all went out to Jacksons and it was just the best last evening one could wish for! ...The girls (and christopher) stayed out with me right till jackson's closed and then Morgan played the piano in Jacksons right before we left. We got ourselves some chips on the way home and then walked around the bridge to Stanorlar.
......That sounds a little like the that Joel Plasket sound doesn't it..
" Listen up kid
It’s not what you think
Staying up too late
Had a little too much to drink
Walked home across the bridge
When the Marquee shut down
There’s a reason that I love this town
Nobody cares how much money you have
If you’ve got enough to get in a cab
There’ll be drinks on the house if your house burns down
There’s a reason that I love this town"
In fact now that i recall...the baretender happened to be from Canada and he gave us all great deals all night. He gave Mark a great deal when we has some Irish car bombs. So that also fits in with the song. What a wonderful evening!
Then when we arrived home we ate cheese grilled sandwiches and attempted to watch "a man for all seasons" but then i fell asleep. It was probably for the best because the girls had to work the next day.
Today I took the bus down to Dublin to stay over with Cathy and Tim because they live close to the airport. The bus took forever to get here because there was a million detours because lots of roads were washed out because of all the phyco rain! Yeah Ireland. hahaha! But now I am here safe and I even got to go to the prayer meeting tonite. Hurah.
So good-bye for now NET Ireland....I will miss you all, Mark, Sheila, Caitlyn, Morgan, Juan, Kristen, Kevin and Wee ConCon. See Yous soon! Thanks for taking me in and in the words of Gareth "Love Youuuu!"
