Well, I left Athlone today at about 11 o'clock. No pictures for a few days probably because i am now on a public computer in a hostel and I dont want to be a computer hog, but as soon as I return home I will post at least a couple hundred more pictures from my trip.
I had a plesant bus ride, and had a nice chat with a more mature lady from the Bay area of California. We had a lovely chat about all sorts of things, and she told me she had thought I was Irish at first, which is a lovely complement. It was an express bus, so it only made two stops, the Dublin Airport, and the Bus Station in Dublin. Some how my new suitcase hopped out of the bus at the Airport and got left behind.
Its very silvery, so it was distinctive and that was good when you're missing a case. I talked to the bus station security, who was very lovely and sorted out my case in no time at all. In one half hours time I had my case and was off walking to my hostel, which was only about five minutes away.
Thats the one thing I have to say about Ireland, the people are nice, friendly, and helpful. Even shop keepers, often if you can get something cheaper somewhere else, they will tell ya about it. I Even in dublin, restaurant owners told me where the safest place to use an ATM was. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they are so interesting. Even being sick, I have enjoyed my time here so much. I feel like its time to go home, ya know, I miss my dog, and my friends, and the kids at primary. But I definately want to come back here again someday, its an amazing place. So beautiful and historic, the weather has been unusually sunny, and I've just loved every second.
Have a good night,
Mandi
