Day 10: An Atlantic Ocean kind of day

Image
Day 10: From Kells to Caherciveen Date Aug 23, 2022 (Tuesday) Today's Distance: 13 miles / 21 km Route and Stats Route Video Total Ireland 58 miles. Total All Caminos: 1678 miles Lodging: Private B&B @ $ 80 Total Lodging: $ 635 Total Buses / Trains: $ 245 Food: $ 11 Total Food: $ 216 Meaningful Moment On this stage of my Camino Iveragh, I hope to slow it down as I go from place to place and see things as I move along.  In the past I've been focused on distance.  Now I'd like to focus more on actually experiencing something in these places. Random Thought of the Day Both yesterday and today started the same way. Late. It makes me anxious to be sitting around instead of walking. But yesterday  I was waiting on bus transport, so I had an easy morning in Killarney before the bus left. This morning I'm waiting for a sheep dog demonstration right next to the bed and breakfast. After the demo I'll start walking. *** Thought I was all alone in t...

Tomorrow is "Go" Day

Tomorrow We Depart for Ireland Date Aug 12, 2022 Total All Caminos: 1620 miles Names for various parts of the Iveragh Peninsula trail system. 1. Kerry Way 2. Ring of Kerry 3. Wild Atlantic Way Meaningful Moment Took Adriana and Jayden out for a Burger King run and a Starbuck's run. Then we did a check-thru of Carlos' and Adriana's backpacks. All is looking good. Finalized some equipment needs. Completed the American Airlines on-line check-in procedures. Just like on my last trip to Spain, we could not check-in on-line for the international portion of the flight, so we will get that done tomorrow at the gate when we turn in my backpack for baggage check-in. I believe that both Carlos' and Adriana's backpacks should qualify for carry-on. Random Thought of the Day The peregrine falcon watchers (of which I am one) from the Genesee Valley Audubon Society are having a get-together tomorrow. I will be sad to miss an opportunity for camaraderie. On the Road ...

Day 07: Serious downtime and chilling out

Image
Day 07: Dublin Date Aug 20, 2022 (Saturday) Total Ireland:  37 miles. Total All Caminos: 1657 miles Lodging: Hilton Garden Inn @ $ 100 Total Lodging: $ 470 Total Transport: $ 165 Food: $ 20 Total Food: $ 130 Meaningful Moment I'm in a serious negative mood. Carlos and Adriana and I talked about me being in a rut. Hard to say what I've been feeling, but it's been going on for a while. And hiking in Ireland has not alleviated it. I  wonder if I've been retired too long without a meaningful contribution to society. Of course there are many people who still work, and have no feeling that their efforts at the job contribute to society.  I have definitely enjoyed my retired life, which is going on 3 years now.  I get to do classes that I want to take, activities that I want to do and leisure when I want to relax. It's very different from the working world. But sometimes I wonder what am I doing that's good for the world. Maybe after Carlos and Adri...
