work, food and travel

[indigo_rose99]

This new hotel has terrific kitchen area for me to eat on my own time. And the quality of the food is better when I can eat less for dinner and take back leftovers for breakfast.

And yet... The niceness of this is balanced by... ugh. Waking up at 4:15am every morning.  To work out and drive the extra distance to work, this is what it takes.   I feel tired all day every day. Jet lag? Coming cold? *big sigh*

But my class for the week is done. And after four hours of solid typing, I have fulfilled all of the promises I made to my students. Now I get a weekend to myself in Ireland. I have a rental car, a GPS, and zero demands on my time. What shall I do?

Have you seen the blarney stone? I don't even know what this is, but I am sure that it is in Ireland. That is the extent of my knowledge. I do know someone in Ireland that works in the theater but they do not stay in one city so I can't tell you where any plays are being held. If I were to visit Ireland, I would look up this person but the hills are supposed to be lovely. Do not go anywhere without the GPS. We don't want to lose you.

I have seen the Blarney Stone. And kissed it. It is in Blarney Castle, a fair bit South of me and North of Cork. More than I want to drive in a day. And besides, kissing the Blarney Stone was a bit more adventure than I am ready to repeat. Darn thing is hanging in midair over a 3+story drop. You have to lean outoutout to kiss it. *shiver* I hate heights.
