quick trip and blog to match

Finally did a little more travelling. Yesterday I took off with Jamie (Irish/English surfer guy from the Salmon Weir) and Emeline (French skirt I've been chasing but am finally giving up on (C'est la vie)) to County Sligo. We hit a beach near Kilcummin yesterday where Jamie and his friend David surfed, out to the pub in Castlebar last night, and crashed at David's house, then surfing again for them this morning while Emeline and I climbed through the Ox Mountains, following sheep trails, and to Strandhill in the afternoon where I went for a beautifully scenic beach run and a bit of a polar swim, then Emeline and I turned around and came home. A good craic. Can't find any pictures on the web to do the trip justice...

<aside>Thanks a million to everyone I got emails from or talked to online today. It meant a lot and was great to feel back at home for a bit. A great big hug to Su, who's off to L.A. tomorrow then to Samoa Tuesday for a little vacation with the Peace Corps!</aside>
