  • Aran Islands

    I woke up at 7:30 refreshed and ready to take on the day. I have to thank my hostel for being so wonderful and making such a good night of sleep possible!

    It was my plan to go to the Aran Islands today. Sadly, the weather was not on the same page as me. It was chilly and horrendously wet and windy. I went through Michael Flaherty tours, and when I showed up his brows raised in surprise asking, “are you sure you want to go today?” Yes, of course! A little rain never hurt anyone…

  • Crosswalk Warnings

  • Hogwarts, I’m coming!!

    I don’t understand! I went all the way to King’s Cross, ran into the wall with the trolley, and nothing happened. So disappointing. I was hoping to start my masters at Hogwarts. I think the platform must’ve been out of service for all the jubilee events… Bugger!!

  • A Royal Tragedy

    Well, by my lack of post I’m sure it has already been assumed that we in fact did not see the queen or the processional. It really is a tragic story. (more…)
