Toast Toppers
The only problem with Michelle's post is she's leaving out the coolest stuff. We took all the back roads from Rathdrum to Waterford and we found tons of crazy stuff - old Monastic sites with round towers, random ruins, old country pubs with Irish farmers in them, etc.The cave that we visited had a history of being attacked by Vikings and there was a cache of coins and human bones and stuff found in it. Vikings! Also, I'm pretty sure we found where the Banshee lives at, luckily it was daylight. There might be zombies there at night too, some of the crypts were cracked open, probably by zombie hands.
So, to recap - zombies, banshees, vikings, caves, cool Irish guys, monks, ruins and beer.
And Michelle's not kidding about the rain. It is not just raining, everything is made out of rain. Also, we stayed at a hostel last night in Dungvargan, and I'm pretty sure that that's where the movie "Hostel" was filmed. It was pretty sketchy. The town was pretty cool though, it was our first south seaside town - the ocean is quite different here than it is in BC. It's icy blue-ish coloured and quite clear.
Okay, to finish off, I will leave you with a list of foodstuffs we have seen, and you can try to guess what they are.
Easy: "Toast Toppers", "Fruit Pastilles", "Nobby's Crisps", "Brown Sauce"
Medium: "Black Pudding", "Biopot"
I'll add more later.

Have you hit any one-lane roads or bridges? I remember the boonies of Scotland being all one-lane roads, with pullouts every so often to let oncoming traffic pass. But there never was any oncoming traffic.
Also, remember the old adage, "Don't mess with Irish zombies." I'm sure that's an adage. If it's not, it should be.
