Traveling to our next destination was kinda fun actually. Patrick and Wade in one car for two hours, scary, I know. From Patrick getting annoyed at Irish parking (which
I've found is about as awful as Massachusetts driving) to Wade talking about the newest thing he's read about raising cattle...it was quite the adventure. Irish parking though is seriously
atrocious. Parking in the middle of the lane isn't uncommon, and neither is on the sidewalk in a "Do Not Park" area. When you don't have idiot parkers to annoy you, you notice how amazing the scenery is. The countryside during this was incredible, and you can see this with the picture. I was seriously in awe, just driving down the road. In the majority of places, the ivy grows so tall that it is impossible to see anything past it, except at the gates they used for cattle. I've lived in Maine for more than 10 years and hear about how green it is from everybody...MAINE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO IRELAND! Green is a different color over here, I swear. What I love though is it is basically all back roads. There isn't a "scenic route", that is the MAIN route. I'm glad Patrick was driving though, because the roads are TINY. Tiny as in a one lane road for two. No middle line,
they just assume two cars can fit down it. Some places you can, others the side of the road in the bush is the only way to not get killed. After all of this though and two hours of insane driving, we made it to the Irish B&B..!
