Discovering Ireland (Finally!)

Himself passed his driving test a little while ago and we've been unstoppable since.
I haven't seen much in the past three years, partly because of laziness and "I'll get to see these places eventually"-attitude, partly because of bad public transport.
Now I'm enjoying every moment of it.

On Sunday we decided to go for a drive. It was a strange, rainy day, and nearly nothing was open (as it goes on Sundays), so a little spin was the best way to kill some time.
Himself wanted to show me all the places he goes to with the army, so that I could finally get pictures to go with the stories.
So off we went.

The first stop was Curragh, or "The Red-Brick Desert". It's like an army town, with -you guessed it- red-brick buildings. But before we got there, I saw a very strange sight. "What? How? Himself, slow down!!!"
While digging my camera out of my bag, I kept staring at the sheep. The thing is, for some reason there was no fences, no gates, nothing at all to keep the sheep in. They were happily walking around, free. That's something I hadn't seen before.
Just for the record: I was impressed with the town as well, but didn't want to take too many pics in there, just to be on the safe side.

After that we went to see the place Himself goes to when there's camps or suchlike. We drove up to a place called Cemetary Hill, where we admired the view and said 'hi' to a few more sheep.

Hollywood, Co. Wicklow -style. :)

Went up to the mountains as well. I think the place was called The Wicklow Gap. It was a strange feeling, climbing up towards the clouds. The radio signal went, the fog surrounded us and it felt like we had left the country altogether.
Laala likes the mountains. :)

Monday we went to Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, to do some shopping.
Happy days.

I've also been going to the gym for four weeks now. If you told me last year, that I'd start doing that and enjoying it, I wouldn't have believed you. (Also lost about 8 pounds so far, which is a huge plus. Or at least a very positive minus. :) )
