Leaving Ireland
Well, I have been gone 2 weeks and this is only my second journal entry… Kinda tough to write when you are running around Europe with the family. After Fort William, we went to Ireland for a week. What glorious weather we had in store. Every day was sunny and beautiful. Does it ever rain in Ireland? This was a nice break since it rained every day in Scotland.
We spent time in Ballycotton, a small fishing village on the southern coast near Cork. Then four days in County Kerry on the south west side of Ireland. I would highly recommend this area. We went to Killarney, Tralee, and Dingle. Good vibes from all towns. But the most amazing parts were the beaches and mountains. We went to 3 different beaches and all offered clear water and miles of sand. The water was a little cold, but the boys got wet anyway. Out on the Dingle peninsula, we went over two mountain passes. These were marked as “dangerous routes� on the map, but I figure it would be an adventure. These were basically one lane roads thru the most amazing terrain. The mountains here do not have any trees, just soft green grass and moss. Very different from the Shenandoah Valley where we have hills covered in hardwoods.
Anyway, after our week “vacation� it is back to work as we travel from Kerry to Frankfurt Germany, then driving to Austria for World Cup #4. We will actually spend 5 nights in the same place in Austria which is nice, can’t believe we have already been gone for over 2 weeks!
Talked to Jason, sounds like WV was successful, Adam and Alison stepped up, too bad JB had bike problems. Jason finally has a weekend off of filming, that is 4 weeks in a row in 4 different countries, damn!!! Hopefully I can capture the action by myself in Austria. I already have tickets for Calgary, Jason has Quebec and Marathon Worlds too take care of. Then we are done filming! I want to personally thank everyone who has given us help or taken time to talk to us. This movie will be unlike anything you have ever seen. The story we will tell is going to be awesome! Hopefully we can figure out a way to make some money. Wonder what Jason is doing…
