Our Trip to Ireland

August 9, 2008 by Wayne Jacobs

Ireland is everything I expected it to be - and more! It's green alright, a shade of green I seldom see in the states. But one of the most surprising things I learned about Ireland was that their winters must not be as cold as I imagined because most of the deciduous plants appeared to have survived the winters and had been growing constantly for years. Certainly not the cycle of green plants dying back in the winter and re-sprouting each spring process with which I'm so familiar.

We planned our trip to Ireland for mid-May and that turned out to be a wonderful decision. Not only were the spring flowers. bushes and trees in full bloom, but the newly born lambs were everywhere. And that's another fact about Ireland which surprised me: there must be 10 sheep to every human inhabitant.

Once again Kathi had done her homework and rented a spacious new home south of city Galway. The owners lived in the US so we were able to pay them in US dollars which was an added bonus. Once we settled in, we shopped for groceries at the local market and noticed something ironic almost immediately. We recognized the numbers on the food products at the market, we'd see 3,98 on a box of cereal, for example. The only problem was that the number we "recognized" was in euros not dollars so the resulting cost to us was almost twice as much as we had typically paid in the states (at the time we were in Ireland, one euro was worth $1.60 in dollars).

Ireland surprised us in one other way: until recently their economy had been the strongest in Europe. That resulted in big, big new houses and big new cars - not at all what we had seen in other European countries. And attempting to drive those big cars on narrow roads designed for horse carts and small cars was, for me at least, challenging, especially since they drive on the left side of the road as they do in the UK.

But the scenery, charm, and unexpected delights of Ireland made up for the high prices and driving challenges. Driving to Connemara one morning to film one of our Virtual Jog - Bike Rides, we entered the outskirts of the small town of Clifden and began to see mile after mile of horse trailers parked along the roadway. "What's going on? I asked Kathi. "Something big," she replied. Soon we discovered that our trip to Connemara had accidently coincided with the famous Connemara Pony auction and we quickly parked and spent a delightful couple of hours watching these beautiful ponies being sold. We found ourselves in the middle of hundreds of serious - and I mean serious - horse lovers, and it was an experience I'm glad we didn't miss.

Kathi and I came away from Ireland conviced of one thing: we will return!
