A Few Holes

Okay, first I'll just upload a couple of pictures I took in the last few weeks.


The short and fat round tower of Dromiskin: the very first complete round tower I've ever seen!


An epic Viking ship, also from Dromiskin, right next to the graveyard where the round tower stands. Dromiskin is quite difficult to find, anyways. I drove around Dundalk a few times before I finally found the right way.

I also went to Baile Ghib, one of the two villages of the Meath Gaeltacht (the other one is Ráth Cairn). It's in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing to see there. Unfortunately, there's not much to hear either. I went to the village's shop and asked when they have a Holy Mass in the local chapel, because I've been planning to listen to a Holy Mass in Irish Gaelic since I moved to Ireland. But the shopkeeper said they don't have Holy Masses in Irish Gaelic at all, and that local people don't really use Irish. He added that if I want to visit a real gaeltacht, I should go to Donegal. Thanks XD
But at least now I can say that I've been to a gaeltacht.
So Ráth Cairn is my only hope now. I was told that it's a bit bigger than Baile Ghib, so I hope I'll find something interesting there. I just need a full day off for driving there, because I heard that it's very difficult to find that place.

Yesterday I finally got my ears pierced! I had one earring in both of my ears since I was a baby, but I'd been thinking about getting one or two more pairs for a while. I wanted to get it done back in Hungary before I came here, but in the end I didn't. But now I have them.


Now that I know it doesn't hurt at all, I want another pair in a few weeks or months, definitely before I move from this town, because the guy in the salon was so nice and funny I just MUST go back there.
