The Emerald Isle

Sat, 16 May 2015 | By copperowl | Views [362]

“There has to be more than this,” I blurted to James as I stared blankly at the concrete office buildings across from the train station. I wasn’t expecting Galway to be a ghost town. “Well, let’s explore. There’s bound to be something interesting around ... Read more >

I went to Ireland when I was 18 and I didn't know what to do about my future. I expected a cold, dark and lonely place, but I was surprised to find myself in a mystical country with so magical traditional stories. All the fairytales and the mistery of ... Read more >

Wandering Prehistoric Tombs at Bru na Boinne

The next morning I woke up feeling so dastardly that Laura said I was looking very Irish, ie. Green. Half a slice of toast made me go white for awhile and had I doused myself in fake tan like all the pikie women in Ireland did, I'd be a flesh version ... Read more >
