Hello! Its not Kelly ( surprised?)
We just got back to the cottage after a few days of camping! (...in Pat's Tai Chi studio in Cork City). We pitched a tent in his stuido and created a cozy fort, inducing a warm slumber (very unsual for Ireland). Pat's actual house is about 45 minutes away from the city, so a bit of a commute.
Kelly and I went to go see Bob Dylan on Thurs, which was awesome. It was a really good show followed up by some bar hopping in the city through which we made some interesting friends (mostly 60 plus year old men). On Friday we spent the day at Pat's new vegan/organic restaurant and shop where we have been primarily working so far. We got to make our own soup, salad and falafel to sell. Pat has been leaving the shop completely to us which has been really fun; sprouting queens running the show! Friday night we attempted to hit the town again, this time aided by a baby-wipe shower, some blush and mascara.
So far we love Ireland. The people are so friendly, treating everyone as close friends. Pat is a really great host. He is a crazy, eccentric, intelligent world traveller who is fed up with "this FOCKIN' rat race called life". He settled back down in Cork 4 years ago to start his own sprouting endeavour and now a new shop. He is really fun to be around and we felt comfortable and at ease immediately upon our arrival. The work is very laid back and even though we work most of the day we do get time off to explore the city, and he's kindly offered us 2 days off per week but for us that seems overly generous.
It is almost bed time now and we are about the put on our 12 layers of clothing and wrap 2 sleeping bags around us so that we can get a good night sleep. Tomorrow is our day off and we are going to go to Kinsale, which is supposed to be a nice little coastal town only about 20 mins away from the house. We are going to hitchhike there and hopefully go whale watching....Kelly really wanted me to add a whale pun but I cant think of one.
Miss you all!!!!! <3
