What an eventful day yesterday! I’ll share a few pictures at some point, but I need to tell you about my night last night first. After a great deal of stress, I finally managed to make it to Pax House in Dingle. What a place! The view is absolutely amazing. John, the owner, is a lovely and caring man and the staff are just beautiful people. Because my day had been very… Read More
I pulled in to Killarney at about 10:30 at night. I was SO relieved I’d made it after such a long journey! It was great to have learned how to successfully gamble today, but it REALLY set me back time wise! I was eager to check in, drop off my gear and head out for some grub and a drink. The grub proved fairly difficult to find, given the late hour. One… Read More
AKA Sweet Company Although the morning was absolute shite at first, the ride ended up being quite glorious. Yes I was lonesome as hell, but as I looked out across the land as I rode on, I felt joy. How incredible it is to embrace the beauty and awe of Ireland. With every single turn my heart swells with gratitude that I am on this adventure. Sometimes when my heart is full, the… Read More
Day 4 started out pretty rough. Exhausted, shaking, suffering from having eaten something I shouldn’t have, and extremely lonely, I reluctantly packed up to leave. I was, however, ever optimistic that things would get better. Straight away I found a gas station; clearly a sign of a great day ahead. Walking back to my bike after paying, I slipped in a greasy spill. I’m assuming it was diesel as Paul of Celtic Rider… Read More
Something in the far recesses of my soul was gently telling me, “It’s OK”
So many things to see and so little time!!! I’ll likely update this post when I have more time, but here are a few of the hightlights! Dublin Castle Check the cool time lapse I shot before I went on a tour: #DublinCastle down the road from my hotel. Exploring #Dublin has been surreal for this #Canadian prairie lass! pic.twitter.com/hZZG3hY7w0 — Deanna Jordan Deveau (@REALHappyCanuck) July 24, 2016 Me performing on the same… Read More
This is the first of what I hope to be several posts about my three days in Dublin in July, 2016. Unbeknownst to me when I booked this trip, I booked my first three nights in the heart of Dublin’s touristy Tempel Bar. You can find all manners of photos and details about Tempel Bar, and I know I could have participated in dozens of touristy type things. I learned from @MorganJDeane about a… Read More
My first day in Ireland has been an absolute whirlwind of activity! I touched down in Dublin about 10:30 the morning of July 21st and felt like I hadn’t eaten in weeks! That’s pretty typical though…I’m always hungry! I had a lovely chat about what the seemingly large item in my bright red bag might be with the old fella at the customs wicket. He was quite incredulous upon learning I brought a motorcycle… Read More
