My travel day and first day were literally a combo. After a mere 18 hours traveling, we landed in Ireland with nightfall somehow slipping through the cracks of time zones and vanishing completely. Days without night are not quite as appealing as when accompanied by this dark visitor. When arriving in the bright early morn on this beautiful island, we were forced to dismiss sleep's temptations in order that the presence of jet-lag might be sent away trembling. In order to keep this exhausted body functioning without "resting my eyes," a little play and adventure were undoubtedly necessary.
Upon arrival, we were treated to some homemade scones and tea. My first real tea party :) Following, we went on a walk down beautiful trails that stroked the edge of a flowing creek. We continued to defeat the enemy of sleep by tossing the football and frisbee too and fro until a new idea struck us. We proceeded to go on a 2 hour bike ride, seeing the town and trails in a rapid, but new light.
It is now 9 o'clock. The sun continues to shine its brightest through our trying curtains. But despite the elements, it is time to finally lay this head to rest :)
