Mishaps and adventures

Someone stole my Eddie Bauer coat and umbrella while I was sitting in the bus depot. They were quite clever, because they waited until I lifted my Italian book up (to prevent further neck strain) and was engrossed in trying to learn a new language. I bought a new jumper while in Dublin and it has been with me since my second day. It has pockets for me to store my wallets, which is why the thief was not able to get that information. I also don't have all my flight info in my binder for some reason and some socks are missing.

I bought new socks and an umbrella, although I am disppointed I don't have my old one. It was really good! I had a lovely time taking the Antrim Coaster and even had my camera ready to take pictures. I became so captivated and mesmerized by Ireland's beauty and kept thinkng I could buy postcards that I never did take any pictures. I slightly regret it now, because even when I did buy a book on the Glens of the Atrim..it never captured the magic and spectacle which I saw this morning and afternoon. I even met an old couple who gave me some intriguing antedotes along the way. They were so surprised when I gave up my seat so they could sit together, which is when they began talking to me.

The Giant's Causeway was spectacular. Every single time I thought I had seen the highlight during my trail, another majestic view would come along and leave me stunned with joy. Most people were taking pictures of loved ones and since I had no one, I would take pictures in a 360 degree axis so that I could remember where I was at each moment with certain reference points. lol.

Ellen and Mom, please keep in mind that Ireland has all four seasons in one day and I assume so will England and Scotland. I find it best to wear a tanktop with my jumper/cardigan so that when it boils to a steaming haze you can wear your tanktop and then when the cold wind gusts by and chills you to your bone, you can wear your cardigan. Well I am off to take my final picures of this quaint hotel.

Cheers!
