Here’s some more footage from my recent trip to Ireland.  This one starts off on the tour bus that I jumped on with the Troop 3 scouts from Derby, which brought us through The Burren to the Cliffs of Moher, and then down to our hotels in Limerick.

This is a real touristy-like video from my trip to Ireland.  It’s mostly just footage of the landscape from when I first landed and then while I was walking around Galway.  It’s more for my own memory than for anything else, but I’m sharing it anyway.   I have one more clip coming.

I’m back home from Ireland.  I’ve posted all of my pictures as well as a few that I swiped from Randy from Troop 3 in the Pictures section.  I’ll have more tomorrow once I get my hands on my brother Kevin’s pictures.  I’ll also upload my video from the trip very soon.

This week has been unbelievable.  Yesterday, after my stroll around Limerick, I checked out this restaurant across from my hotel on O’Connel St. called Luigi Malones a quick dinner.  The food was great.  They even gave me a glass of complimentary red wine which wasn’t all that bad.

Following dinner I met up with my friend Rachel and from there we joined with a bunch of people for another night out at Molly’s.  Had a blast, although I came back home with a few scratches and a bruise on my back.

Today started off much like yesterday did.  I walked around by myself for a bit…. ended up in People’s Park and then made my way all the way down to the Hunt Museum to check out the 50’s Chic/60’s Cheek exhibit, which was somewhat of a disappointment due to the lack of photography they had on display.

That evening I met up with my friend Rachel and her friend Claire, who rode the bus with me up to the Ryan’s where I saw Hazel and Mike once again.  We all had some pizza (which wasn’t all the bad) and then we made some plans for the night.

My last night there was incredible.  Hazel, Rachel, Claire, and myself all went out to a a few pubs and a few clubs, including Nancy Blakes, Molly’s, and Icon.  I can’t tell you enough how good it felt to be there… especially with Hazel and Rachel who I hadn’t seen prior to this week in about 8 years.

At some point in the night a photographer took our picture.  I guess it’ll be in a Limerick newspaper sometime next week.  I’m looking forward to seeing it.

I had to end the night by packing for my trip back home.  My flight leaves in just a few hours and I need to stay awake to catch the bus to the aiport.

Today’s been a good day to just take it slow.  I have no plans and the weather isn’t all that great, so I’ve just been going out for few short walks around Limerick city every few hours.  I guess I’m really tired out from all the moving around I’ve been doing the past couple of days.  But I’m still really enjoying myself because there’s so much to see around here.

A bit earlier while I was out walking around, a stranger came up to me and asked if I could take a picture of him.  He was pretty excited that I was willing to do it.  I’m glad I took it because I kinda like how it ended up coming out.  He was with a bunch of people who were drinking beer near the Treaty Stone along the River Shannon.  I think they may have been homeless.
