Ginger Count: do chestnut/sorrel horses count as gingers? The day’s agenda: Head to the K Club in Stratton via Kildare and the Irish National Stud. I woke up to go on a run only to find that it was a gray, rainy day. Yay for finally getting some stereotypical Irish weather! Boo for not committingContinue reading “Ireland Day 13”

Ginger Count: 525,600 gingers. If any of you get that reference you get bonus points. The day’s agenda: The Cliffs of Moher! A note from yesterday: I said I would report back on Buried at Sea once I tried it. Part of me wants to go into a long and drawn out discussion regarding theContinue reading “Ireland Day 12”

Dani endedContinue reading “Ireland Day 9”

My alarm went off at 06:30 so I could get up and do fabulous things with my morning. As it goes, Dani had to threatenContinue reading “Ireland Day 8”

Ginger count: 1 regular ginger The day’s agenda: massages, horseback riding, Kenmare We had a pretty lazy start to the day, waking up around eight (the beds here at Sheen Falls Lodge are the most comfortable so far) and then grabbing breakfast before getting our massages. Before breakfast, I may have gotten distracted by theContinue reading “Ireland Day 7”
