Ireland redux

So I'm back in Ireland. I love this country, despite the fact that it's raining and sixty degrees. This time is fun however, because I'm here with Bach, an old friend. Tonight we are going to do a little town-painting. It's about time, as Amsterdam was peculiarly quiet. Most likely due to the fact that I was there with my parents. Not that it stopped my sister from going out with locals and not getting back until five in the morning.

For the last day and a half the two of us have been travelling with Bach's family, a surprisingly nice expirience. Yesterday we went to see this ancient (3000 BCE) burial site called New Grange, about an hour north of Dublin. Apparently it hasn't leaked since it's construction. The neolithic carvings were very cool, lots of swirls. One theory is that they were designed by schroom users. Makes some sense...

In any rate, it's been a really low key few days. Except for the bike ride into the country outside Amsterdam that I took with my Dad. In the Rain. On badly-sprung bikes. Still, I enjoyed it. Mostly.

Tuesday I leave Dublin to head to Brussels for a couple days before meeting my family again in Germany.
