Thanks to Everyone…See you Soon!
Saturday, December 16th, 2006I have spent the last few days enjoying the rain, wind and overcast skies of the Emerald Isle. Until today I didn’t think that the sun even made it’s way out from behind the clouds here but today, I finnally got a look at her. I was in Killarney on Wednesday and Thursday and at no time did it stop raining. I did not get to see the Ring of Kerry so I will have to take everyones word that it is really beautiful. I spent most of my days in Killarney watching reading, or watching television. I watched a fun episode of Rickey Lake where people confessed to their lovers that they were cheating on them…why I just admitted that to you I am not quite sure. When people ask me what I liked most about Ireland it will probably not be the Rickey Lake show.
I hoped on a bus on Friday morning and headed north to Galway. Galway is a pretty little city. I havent had much time to look around as I headed down to the Cliffs of Moher today, very beautiful. We got great weather and were probably very lucky to have had that.
Tomorrow I wake up early to catch my 2 hour bus ride to Shannon Airport where I will catch my flight to Boston. After over 8 months it is finnally coming to an end. All the places I have seen and people I have met along the way have made it such an amazing experience and have taught me so much. I am very excited to be coming home tomorrow and to seeing everyone, hopefully you will be excited to see me, or at least pretend to be.
I want to thank everyone who contributed to the blog and to those who emailed me. It made my journey very special to know people were following it from home. This will not be the last official post as who knows what will happen tomorrow. I will try to give an hour by hour account of my adventure returning home tomorrow that I will post on Monday. I also have lots of pictures to post on my photo page and I will do that this week as well.
For those of you who may remember, Andy, the douchebag I traveled with in Asia, is coming to Boston for a few days so technically I will pretend that my trip is continuing for those few days.
Goodbye to you all and in the words of Bono from U2:
“I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
