Its my second day, I have a host, I got some sleep, things are better. I slept on my Insulmat, If you ever go camping, get one. They are amazing. It was like sleeping on 3 inches of air and my ass never touched the floor. It was a great nights sleep despite the 40 mph winds howling by the window, the hailstorm, and occasional rain. Damn good thing I wasn't camping last night, I may have died. I have a wonderful lady hosting me right now, teaching me all things Irish, including the use of the word fook. I'm sure you can imagine what that translates too in English. If you think you hear it a lot in the US then you should come to Limerick Ireland where 8 year olds use it in sentences. It's quite comical because here, its just another word to express things excitedly. I am leaving tomorrow for Listowel in County Kerry. There is a wonderful lady there that will let me stay with her for a few days. I've got a cell phone here so if there is an emergency I wont die, I can call 119. It's the Irish version of 911. Clever. Ohh yeah, Ireland is the world capital of rugby and Limerick, where I'm staying, is the Irish capital of rugby, they play an important game today. I'm very excited because im going to a pub to watch it, maybe I can get some locals to "explain" it to me. No pictures yet, still trying to square away my pack and there wasnt much to take photos of yesterday. I was either on the bus or it was dark. I will take some today and post them later. Slan (means goodbye/ bestwishes)
