Love this post. I spent a week in Ireland when I was studying abroad in England..in the 80's. I need to go back. Thanks for providing the incentive! "With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding." —Sandra Lake. Also, listening to Bebe Stockwell right now! Beautiful!
Oh I like that quote, Terri! I can also go the other way around! where were you in Ireland? North or South? big difference between the two and from the 80s to now...I really think it's a fun city to visit.
Oh you must have a field day with my writing!! I do take license with rules…but, can I not eat muscles? What about if I say I ate fish? What if I wasn’t actually enjoying the muscles? I’m not being fresh…I tend to get super curious about editing…
Love the way you tied together reflections on travel with travel tips and Irish history and your own experiences! Dublin is a city I've been meaning to go to for forever because of my love for James Joyce... maybe next Bloomsday? The color of that chair is beautiful, and it looks so comfy, too!
Oh, Ramya…you must go. It’s not very expensive, or at least it isn’t worse than most EU cities. You will be folded into Joyce’s world. Book stores abound! and you must go to the Museum of Irish Literature, The gardens are incredible and the cafe is perfect as is the store….thank you for chiming in! I must go find a red velvet chair!!
Lovely trip. Thx for sharing.
thank you! it was fun…

And, so glad you're enjoying Bebe's music!
I traveled around Ireland, not Northern Ireland. Spent a couple days in Dublin. Be fun to see how it's changed/not changed.
it’s a great place for a quick trip
You’re eating muscles? I hope not. I believe you’re enjoying mussels. The editor in me can’t help it. Nice article otherwise. Karen
PS thank you for reading WSG! Would you like to do the Maven 5Q? Five questions about midlife… Here they are:
What is the most surprising part of being in this stage of life?
What’s one new thing you’re trying to embrace in mid-life?
If you could give yourself a piece of advice 20 years ago, what would it be and why?
What’s something that our generation had access to that you’d like to bring back?
If the next 20 years of your life had a theme, what would it be and why?
