How to update?

My god, I've been gone for so long and seen so many things, I have no idea how to describe everything I saw and did in Ireland. I started writing down everything when I was there, and one week produced about 30 pages in my journal, so I have no idea how to write down everything online. There's been this 25 thing going around online, and I think I'll just list 25 things about my spectacular, one thing for each day, and then four general thoughts:

January 21: Wow, I'm here, and Dublin is such a swirl of activity. Everyone is going someplace and there's so much to see and to do. Jet lag plus a pint isn't the most intelligent decision ever taken, but Dublin is a city so ALIVE. Highlight of the day: O'Connell Street and Ha'penny Bridge.

January 22: Settling into the jive of Dublin and the fast paced life. Unfortuantely, it only starts at 9 AM, and I'm an early bird, so my mornings here were spent in calm walks around the city to parks and such. The particular highlights of choice today were the national museums, that housed such treasures as the portrait of Ireland, the Tara Brooch, the Armagh Chalice, and the Bell of St. Patrick, as well as Dublin Castle. Pub of choice today=The Brazen Head, Ireland's oldest at 1157.

January 23: Sundays in Ireland are the one day where life seems to stop. Went to Phoenix Park and the Guinness Storehouse, where I got to pour my first pint out of the draught--one of my life's highest moments. My other mainstay was Kilmainhaim Gaol, where Britain placed many an Irishman and subjected him to tortures and unjust executions.

January 24: GLENDALOUGH. One of the absolute must-gos for anyone to Ireland. Absolutely beautiful place, beautiful day, and absolutely scenic. It's obvious why this was the heart of Leinster Catholicism for about 700 years. It was so great to take a slow day away from the heart of Dublin, plus I got an AMAZING fillet of haddock with exquisite chips.

January 25: NEWGRANGE. Wow wow wow. There was just something so enchanting about this place. It's a tomb over 5000 years old, held together without mortar (about 1000 years older than he pyramids of Egypt, by the way). Sleeping at the base of this great tomb, I could feel the history of the great land slipping into me, and I was overwhelmed with the magnamity of everything. Other sights: Drogheda, Battle of the Boyne site. Culinary amazingness: BEEF AND GUINNESS. Holy shit, people. That was perhaps one of the best meals of my life.

January 26: DERRY. Actually the day was mostly spent travelling, but I did get to have hobnobs for the first time, as well as one of my new loves, potato farls.

January 27: DERRY/BELFAST. Saw the sight of the Bloody Sunday massacre, as well as the Free Derry museum. Traveled back to Belfast and had a pint at the Crown Saloon. Decided that I don't like the North much...botanical gardens in Belfast are gorgeous though

January 28: GIANT'S CAUSEWAY. The best part of the north, at least that I saw. Ancient lava structures science says, but I prefer to think of it as part of Finn MacCool's bridge to Scotland. The story is so much better than the "facts"...The rural north is so much better than the cities.

Ugh, I'm sick of writing. I'll write more later.
