Well my bags are packed, or nearly so, and I'm heading back to Ireland, this time to the Viking town of Wexford in the 'sunny southeast.' Al and I spent 2 months in Westford, Co. Mayo, last spring and we love it there -- we have friends, favorite walks, Clew Bay and Crough Patrick; but this time, I'm wanting to be able to pop up to Dublin and I also am looking forward to exploring Kilkenny, Waterford, and the rolling countryside in the south. I'll miss the winds of Westport blowing the town around, but Wexford has opera, birding, the Hook Lighthouse, and eight Story-telling Houses where tall tales, myths, and life stories are shared.
I'm looking forward to waking up each morning and being in Ireland! I have rented a room in a house with 3 other women: a chef, a health care worker, and a laundry assistant. The house is 5 minutes walk from town so I imagine I'll be walking through town, finding my green grocer's and the town library, hearing local traditional Irish music, discovering art galleries, etc. etc. Setting up a new life and seeing what each day brings.
I'll do my best to share my experiences and photos and I hope you enjoy the ride!
