I love that you laughed when the water was such a let-down from your daydream. That's what Ireland is about for me; you think you know what will happen but it's never quite the same. Sometimes negative and sometimes positive, I'm still finding the balance! Happy New Year to you:)Niamh Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711002998015670698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687181810058474956.post-67743946936412755462010-01-08T18:25:18.153-08:002010-01-08T18:25:18.153-08:00Well, if that's the case...let me know if you ...Well, if that's the case...let me know if you ever get out this way and we'll figure out a way to get you my contact details. Wouldn't mind at all giving you some pointers about where you might wander. Ireland IS a beautiful place...the joys of West Cork. A 'soft' day on the River Boyne. The beauty of a sunrise or a full moon still astounds me. Yep, it's pretty all right.<br /><br />Mind, I must say that I enjoy NYC. Lived in Long Island many moons ago and worked in the City. Have been back since and must say that I miss the people, the city...and the Food!<br /><br />Til a someday, perhaps... (oh - if you think of anything you'd like to learn about or I might cover do let me know! Surely appreciate your posts...

But that is what makes it a frequently entertaining place to live, when it isn't a maddening place to live for many other reasons.<br /><br />Despite being of 100% Italian background (and I have visited there) I have always had a strong fascination with Ireland and hope I will some day get there. It sounds like such an enchanting place and what I have seen from flying over it has been extraordinarily beautiful. <br /><br />Wherever I have been in the world, whether in Europe or the Carribean or even a different part of the US, I am utterly charmed by some aspect and think "oh this would be a great place to live!" Yet I never seem to unhitch my wagon from NY and go live there... but one never knows what the future holds do they?Hazeleyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611279322370728940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687181810058474956.post-57948792867080995832010-01-08T05:21:09.503-08:002010-01-08T05:21:09.503-08:00Hi Hazeleyes, and what a lovely comment.

Many times my fellow Americans (as Tricky Dick used to say) can be somewhat myopic when it comes to imagining living in another country. But each country, each culture, has a story of its own, and a tapestry of riches to explore. <br /><br />Just wish I could get them to understand that! Ah well. I live to fight another day.<br /><br />Where do you hail from? <br /><br />My best - TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328791575012975308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687181810058474956.post-30168028058762314992010-01-08T02:50:33.308-08:002010-01-08T02:50:33.308-08:00So great to see another Comment u back blog..we ar...So great to see another Comment u back blog..we are really having a collection of good bloggers.

Europeans are not shocked to find fellow citizens choosing to and enjoying living in a country other than their birth nation. Americans often can't grasp that anyone would WANT to live anyplace else. Largely I would think because of the size of our nation and the fact that we only border 2 neighbors... and more than one American thinks of Canada as "just another America." <br /><br />I think every place on earth offers rewards and challenges. If you can't be happy in and of yourself wherever you may be, it is unlikely that you can be happy anyplace on earth.Hazeleyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611279322370728940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687181810058474956.post-21816787014604596472010-01-07T10:55:40.329-08:002010-01-07T10:55:40.329-08:00Great narration and photos..
