Well folks it has been a very busy week in the life of Tanya Sue Cheetahlicious Pollard As you all know jhalkfjhajkhfjkdh volcano kept erpting shutting down the airports for quite a few days. NOT GOdd. SO many of my friends flights were cancelled and what not. It is crazy how mother earth can turn the world upside down so quickly. Our taxi driver today told us there is another huge one next to the current one that they say once it erupts flights will be stopped for 2 years. I really am not sure if that is accurste or not but if it is, “Holy ROMPOUS!!”
Anywho since I was unable to make it to Germany I had planned a few day trips. On Wednesday I went to Cork to kiss the Blarney stone. Yes, I know there are stories of people going potty on it but I was willing to take the risk. I needed the luck somehow and I was hoping my kiss would help get flights back on track! Ha! We climbed the million spiral tight/small steps to get to the top of the castle. Boy oh boy if I lived back in that day and tripped down those steps it be the end of me. ANywho once to the top there was such a beautiful view. An elderly lady was going to kist the stone but they couldn’t even get her to go down on her knees. She was ooohhhing and screeching! Hahaha Watching her reminded me of my Grandma Sue because im a almost positive she’d be the same way! She was a cute lady who cheered everyone else on! Now folks I did not know that you had to lay on your back and bend backwards to kiss the thing. 1) I am afraid of heights. 2) my shirt rose up a little displaying my rolls. 3) my legs were the only thing holding on , everything else was hanging. There was a man who helped us there, but still I thought I might wet myself a little. I really hope that stone is goodluck. It was not what I was expecting but I am so glad I made it there. After we wandered around for awhile and went to the witches steps which you have to walk up and down with your eyes closed and only thinking of your wish you want. Well I did this but my friends got busy taking a photo of themselves , did not tell me I was at the top because I cracked my head on part of the rock. But the good news is I did not open my eyes. After that we went to a Dolmen, a huge rock tent looking thingy having to do something with the Vikings. It was cool. Ive decided to call this whole area BLARNIA. Haha it reminds me of the world Narnia. We had a nice lunch in the park while we were surrounded by ducks who decided to attack eachother. I was quite scary. That night was our last night at Diceys, our favorite club. We had become regulars there. I will really miss that place. It was savage Craic!
OMG I also forgot to mention I traveled to Howth again on Sunday because I wanted to hit up the fresh food market one more time! I was on a mission to eat!!! Your only in Ireland once. We got there and I got a crepe with egg, ham and cheese. It was splendid. Then I got a huge brownie probs the best I have ever tasted so far in my 21 years of life. Finally I found myself a mixed berry scone. DELECTABLE!!!! We went and found the seals this day. They were so darn adorable, I cannot even explain. There were a lot of them, maybe 10. They were right by the shore area and people were feeding them fish. The seals got so excited about the fish that they were making squeally noises and flapping their flippers/paws/ whatever you call them. I fell in love with them. Also they are pleasantly plump like me… I told them that I know how it feels! Haha. I probably looked crazy talking to them but I don’t care. I prefer animals over people most times because they always love me! Haha –Seeing them made my day and made me feel better about my double chin because they had a triple one.
Then jumping ahead again on Friday I took a day trip with Wild Wicklow tours. We traveled up into the Wicklow mountains and to Glendalough. IT WAS BREATHTAKING. In the mountains you could look down upon a pure blue lake. Then at Glandalough there was the two huge mountains with the beautiful water between it. It was so surreal. I could not believe it. We also saw the oldest Celtic cross in all of Europe in the cemetery there. We learned that the pope and other Catholic leaders have nothing to do with Celtic Crosses because they have the sun around the top which represents a god for the Pagens. Interesting. This was a really cool bus tour and I also got an amazing blueberry cinnamon scone and Avocca. I will miss scones. The only problem about this trip is that I was very sick on it. I had the terrible aches and swelled up tonsils with a horrible sore throat. I do not know why I am cursed to always being sick when traveling. It is so bizarre and kind of getting old.
Ok also we celebrated my good friend (Baby) Becca's 21st at Spy! Holy romous was it fun. It was a skins party where you paint your skin with glowy stuff and get glow necklaces and what not. It was so epic and fun! I basically looked like an indian chief!
Yesterday was my last day in the city. It was sad. But I feel that I am ready to come home for a break and to see everyone again. I miss them.
