Yesterday was the first day we've had with just complete garbage for weather. Pouring rain all flippin day! But did that keep us indoors all day? No...no, it didn't. We still walked 75 miles all around town soaked to the bone. And when we got sick of walking in the rain, we went into a pizza joint for lunch and waited an hour for the waitress to give us water and take our order. I'm sure she was just being considerate, thinking we needed time to dry off, and could just drink the water dripping off our sleeves or something. We did have empty glasses on the table at least...we could have just rung out our jackets into them, and come to think of it, we probably should have...that's a brilliant idea and we're just thinking of it now. Shoot. After the pizza, that did turn out to be delicious...but that we still didn't tip for...we headed back to Katie's.
Oh, before that we had made another stop at Aoife's that led to more ridiculous conversations...that should really be sent in as script for Family Guy. Ya know...one thing led to another...I guess you just had to have been there. Really, what's the point in even beginning a story if you're gonna end it in "I guess you just had to be there" or the main plot consists of "One thing led to another..." Anyone with that social capacity should not engage in story-telling or even speaking, for that matter. Just sayin...
Soooo...you can just skip that last paragraph in your memory, since it really meant nothing to anyone...we're back on track with the Kallory experience. Once we got to Katie's, we got our bags sorted while we waited for them to get back. Then Patrick so kindly let us hitch a ride with him to Bundoran (Donegal County). We got the privilege of staying at "The Shack" last night...rad little "house" with no kitchen and a moss-covered GIGANTIC weed whacker on the bathroom floor. I think it was placed there to distract from the curtainless shower and door that only closes with the help of your ENTIRE body weight. I do love the purple bedroom with matching purple sheets that Nollie had prepared for us. It's even better that it's actually his bedroom and it's always purple. Sweeeeeet. Oh, and the biggest wolf spider I've ever seen in my life:
This morning we decided to just take a cruise to see if we could find the house Grainne was staying in, but our attempt was unsuccessful, so we went in search of food instead. The Ceylon Cafe was delicious...and then we promptly visited every gift shop every other door all the way to the end of town...Simply to realize that we don't wanna get anyone anything because, quite frankly, we wouldn't want any of this $h!# either. Who wants a stuffed leprechaun with an embroidered shamrock on his tophat that says "Souvenir from Ireland" on it? Because we wouldn't have known otherwise, right? Gosh, we American's aren't THAT stupid, are we?! Actually, on second thought...we probably are...the other American's we've seen here have stuck out like sore thumbs with their khaki's, baseball caps, Disneyland or I <3>out 20 minutes down the road we decided she was a liar and it wasn't worth it to continue. Before turning back to head to town we saw a cemetery off the road and up a hill a bit that needed to be explored. After doings so for a few minutes and taking some pictures we started to feel a little creeped out and left.
Back in town, we decided to try one more time to find the house Grainne was staying at...we had visited last night for a second, but couldn't possibly have found our way back without Ryan (the hippie) and his ridiculous excuse for directions. After almost getting lost a second time, Cillain and Claire were driving by and spotted us so they gave us a ride to the house. Thank goodness, we were so happy to finally see Grainne again :)
