'Tis Saint Patrick's Day, so I thought it fitting for a stroll down memory lane when I was in Ireland, April 2006. Not a day goes by when I don't think of this country - or the trip. I want to go back now, yesterday - whenever. I think I left a piece of me over there. Anyway, that's what it feels like somedays.
God, the land's beautiful. Takes my breath away. Redross - in Co. Wicklow. A view from our porch.
My friend Justyna (we've known each other since we were 14) accompanied me as one of my plays, Stan's Addiction, was being read at a festival in Belfast. You know how when you go on trips and certain songs remind you of the trip 'cause you heard them...on the trip? Take a listen to our song - though we picked it out before we got to Ireland. Is that cheating?
The Irish Sea at Brittas Bay.
It's not difficult to find one of those famous Irish doors to lean against.
Justyna and I in Avoca.
Lynhams of Laragh - in the Village of Laragh, near Glendalough. Founded in 1777, it was the coziest of all the pubs we'd been in.
Me and my Guinness in Waterford, Co. Waterford. Happy St. Patrick's Day and "Caed Mile Failte", or "A thousand welcomes".
i love ireland, too.
ReplyDeleteJeff...it looks like a beautiful country...so hilly and green and cozy. Someday I'd like to get there. Happy St. Patty's Day...and may the wind be behind ya.... not because of the cabbage and corned beef ya ate today......and remember..if you're beer's half full or half empty...it just means you need to get a refill. Love..Aunt Ev
