More Driving

Today we had more driving, and on the way we found an awesome waterfall. Technically we're still on the Ring of Kerry, you just drive it all over the place.

Here's a random property we took a tour of the grounds - Muckross. It was awesome and giant, there are so many great houses/castles around here. 

We're starting the last week of Ireland, and my 4th week of being away from home. I'm having such an awesome time, but I miss America and my people back home! But this last week will be awesome!

Ring of Kerry

Today we were supposed to visit the island Skellig Michael, but in order to visit the island, you have to have a clear, picture perfect day, and the ocean has to be calm. Unfortunately for us, that didn't happen today. So instead, we drove the Ring of Kerry. It's an 111 mile loop around Ireland, and you can stop in tons of tiny cute Ireland towns. I'll just post some basic pics.
This is the closest we got to Skelling, dang it.

TBH I just thought this snail shell was magical.

Just a random beach we came across. 

 We found a little town, Waterville, and apparently Charlie Chaplin lived there for a bit. Since he is one of my favorite actors, I was so happy to find a statue of him.

 Again, another beach we found.

 The loop is amazing, and it was so awesome to see all the great sites! I could visit these for an entire week for each place!

3 Good Reasons against Driving Angry

Leaving work today, I was mad. Too many annoyances at the end of the day, coupled with my computer being dumb. So I compiled a list of...

3 Reasons it's not a good idea to drive angry:

1. When I am mad, I turn the radio waaay up. This is always a fun idea when you're driving, but then when I stop, my ears are ringing, and things are just a little muffled. Smart idea...until you realize you're probably killing eardrum.

2. For some reason, I decide to share my anger. So instead of driving like a courteous, polite driver, I decide to make other drivers have it too! I keep cutting people off, like for some reason, this will ruin their night. I can guarantee after the initial "wth?!" they have, they don't think of my for a second. But still, it makes me feel a little better.

3. On the flip side, I take any infraction done to me way too personally. I'm sure the other driver just wants to get home, see their family, but to me, a tiny thing like, not turning on the turn-signal far enough in advance, I take it to the next level-I feel like they have a vendetta against me, and it makes me want to hit their car.

Now don't worry everyone, I wasn't in danger, I knew what was going on, and I was in control, so it's not like there was anything to get worried about. I am far less angry now (because I've been just chilling this evening, nothing to be mad about...) so the next time I drive, I will far more polite. And if I encountered anyone this evening while driving...I apologize.
