across the universe
a good friend of mine and i decided to backpack around ireland and then europe for a while. i kept a diary of our adventure and will share bits of it.
ireland was our first leg of the tour. thankfully, i knew a couple [that i lived with in australia a year earlier] that acted as our personal tour guides.
it took rick and i a bit to assume our roles, but i must admit- we made a fantastic team. i still dream of our days as vagabonds where we had little more than one another.
we stayed in hostels and a haunted house. we surfed, acted like warriors when visiting castles. and sat quietly writing poetry. we took time to sit in the rain, walk along rivers with swans, and drink with locals in the pubs. we took seaweed baths, fished, and kissed on cliffs.
we were friends that wanted to experience life, and that's just what we did.
