I’ve found my favorite part of Ireland - Inishowen Peninsula and Green Hill Farm! The area is beautiful and the farm is excellent. The internet access is slooooow. Dial-up at 21.6 Kbps! Needless to say I haven’t spent much time on-line and haven’t bothered to upload pictures over this connection and until now haven’t felt like posting. I’ll write more about this farm later, as it is really great - the area, what they are growing, how they are selling, the age of the farm, location, etc. etc. etc. It’s all really cool … and I wish I had come here sooner … sorry Sunrise Farm (and KAT for that matter), but it’s true! Green Hill joins the ranks of La Chalaguere and Ytre Lygra as one of the most beneficial and influential farms of my wwoofing career. It’s also my last European wwoof host. ![]()
I fly to London from Derry on Thursday the 27th. I’ve arranged to stay with Trevor, the chap I met in London in January. Then I’ll try to see what London friends I can. Martin from the African safari will be out of town, so I’ll miss him. And, I haven’t heard from my German friend in London, Christina yet. But, I may have just emailed her seldom-used email account and she hasn’t gotten the message yet. I hope to stay a night or two with Sarah, an excellent and interesting person I met at Kerry Alternative Technology shortly before I left. And, I fly out of Gatwick on Sunday! a week left! Shit. Time has been absolutely excellent to me, but it is coming to an end quickly for me and Europe.
Anyways … I’m not looking forward to leaving Europe, but I am looking forward to being back in the USA. Now more than ever I am looking forward to continuing the lifestyle I’ve found and will make it my new way of life. I still have a lot to learn, and will be looking for a place to land (as well as someone to land with …) and am looking forward to starting something new as soon as possible. I will return to freelance web design for a time at least, although I don’t anticipate actually enjoying it too much. It is necessessary, though and I will just have to ration my time accordingly. Doing shite I don’t want or like to do isn’t worth it anymore - there is more to life than being miserable and since I can live my life anyway I want it, I will! Just like life is too short to eat crap food, it’s too short to waste time doing what you don’t want to do. This has without a doubt been the best times of my life!
I’ll upload photos as soon as I get to a faster connection!
