Today was delightfully unstructured. We woke up to take a motor coach tour of Killarny and learn the layout of the town, and then went to do various other things, such as:
- Degrade an ancient stone circle by standing on it.
- Visited Kenmare and ate an…interesting lunch…
- Saw lots of Sheep
- Climbed really high up and stole my entire groups’ souls with my camera.
- Took Mandatory group photo with breathtaking natural background.
- Went to Killarney National Park and saw Torc Waterfall….while standing in that freezing balls water.
- Ended the day with Burger Kings Pancake and Ice cream treat, which is really, really weird….
Later in the evening Dr. Wilber had arranged for two Irish poets, John W. Sexton and Eileen Sheehan, to come and speak to us. It was actually kind of awesome since I had never been to a poetry reading. There were wines, cheeses, and crackers at this gathering which I guess is a typical standard for poetry readings. They each read a few of their poems to us, explained how to put emotion into your writings, and caused two girls to have to leave the room in tears in the process. Moving words from good poets, I guess.
Now, I’m going to sleep…later.
