After our long day walking to the cliffs, we thought it would be a good idea to stay close to our hostel and give our aches a rest. Though we have been traveling for awhile now, we are a bit out of practice on long walks over hilly terrain. Richard’s Letter strikes again. At … Continue reading Killilagh Church and the Atlantic Ocean
After a long Saturday full of travel and sleeplessness, we had the audacity to believe we’d get up in time for the 8:00 AM breakfast our hostel serves. Our alarm went off, but I evidently turned it off. I don’t remember, which means I was really out of it. So we got up at noon … Continue reading The Cliffs of Moher
All-nighters are definitely on my Murtagh list. I’m too old for this stuff. The last day (a day for us is from when we get up to when we go to bed, not this inconvenient 24 hr setup) has been a blur. Let's recap: 01:00 PM – Awaken from a late night (Indi only had … Continue reading An Irish Welcome

12/1 Jowl, Jyunkei – Served at our favorite meat-on-sticks place in Osaka, Jowl was a tough and well-seasoned beef-type meat that I enjoyed thoroughly. 12/3 Margherite Pizza – Margherita Pizza is like a cheese pizza, but in Italy, it’s totally different. It’s the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. Who’d have thought I enjoyed basil so … Continue reading Rhys’ New Foods List – December

Speaking of our next destination, we have the final destinations mapped out. We’re spending a week in Ireland, hopefully in the western portion of the country … Continue reading It’s Cold Everywhere!
Between the two of us, Rhys and I have lost 118 pounds since April. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN in NINE months. That's extreme. So what changed? Beginning Now On the surface, not a whole lot. Yes, we're walking more - but no additional exercise. We eat when we're hungry, and we're not on any sort … Continue reading 118 pounds later…

Yesterday was a bit of a low key day. That’s really your best option when you wake up around noon. The days of waking up automatically at 9:00AM are long gone. We must’ve left that internal initiative in New Zealand. Not the worst thing in the world, for sure, but when the wintertime sun starts … Continue reading Good Times
