The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
One of my favourite things of all the things we did in Ireland was visiting the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. The photos just cannot do justice to the spectacular views of the 700 ft shear drop into the Atlantic Ocean. You really just have to go there to see if for yourself. My […] →Read more
My frogs, as you know, have a castle in their tank. But I had never had the opportunity to stay in a castle until I got to Ireland, where I stayed in no fewer than three of them. I guess they had a lot of castles in Ireland and since they are no longer needed […] →Read more
One of the nicknames of Ireland is “The Isle of Saints and Scholars”, due to its monastic culture and missionary work to spread Christianity to Britain and continental Europe in the Middle Ages. Which I had no idea was a thing that happened. This would be a trend for me throughout my trip to Ireland […] →Read more
I think of all the museums I visited on my holidays, I liked the British Museum the most. I got to see the freaking Rosetta Stone! And this awesome scarab: A smaller version of which my aunt bought for me: I think I’ll make it into a necklace. We also went to the Victoria & Albert […] →Read more

After three weeks vacation, the inevitable refrain from many colleagues upon my return was, “Tough to come back, eh?” But the thing is, every time someone said that, I thought, “Not really.” Now, don’t get me wrong – I had a super fantastic vacation and am already dreaming up ideas for my next trip. But […] →Read more
And so my first every trip off the continent has come to an end. I have many blog postings ((Where by “have” I mean “mostly in my brain still, but with a few bits and pieces jotted in my notebook.”)) about my various adventures that I will post over the next week or so – […] →Read more
Wrote this yesterday and then in my excitement at arriving in Nice, forgot to post it! Sitting in the Zurich airport – arrived from Dublin and am now waiting for my flight to Nice. I can’t avail myself of the 1 hour of free wifi as to register you have to give them your cell […] →Read more
