Another good day so far! We came from the beautiful train to a beautiful apartment. And for all those who have been thus far led to think I'm a nazi trip planner, I would just like to say- I booked this beautiful place. I know the art of compromise (and how important it is to the dynamics of this trip to keep team hotel happy). The apartment has marble floors, a beautiful clean kitchen, a flat screen, and greeaat water pressure! After a refreshing 2 hr nap, in the first actual beds since NY, we were ready to head out. And by we, I mean mimi, rocko and sahar. Deena had to stay behind because she needed a little more sleep and we NEEDED minute by minute updates on the tennis match. So the 3 of us set out, got a nice cup of coffee and headed to Killarney National Park. The weather turned beautiful, sunny and breezy and we chilled for a bit by a creek. This is what life was meant to be like. Next up was our horseback riding experience at Muckross lodge. Once again deena had to sacrifice and let someone lead her since she had to take pictures. She then proceeded to joke around and discuss heated politics with her guide since she felt bad for the attitude she gave him out of fear when she first got on the horse. But in all fairness, it wasn't necessary to get leather burns while learning how to use the reigns. All of a sudden we hear: JACKO JaCKO!!! (Verrry angry SS voice) Deena, now reaaaaly scared: omg! What did I do?! Rocko: yemach shemo! Also, a few freakishly prophetic things went on at that stable: a) the stable boy handed us perfectly fitted boots without asking our sizes and b) the horses had our twin personalities: sparky had ibs, davie loved taken breaks, marcy was a mad chiller, and pattie was the headstrong bossy one, pushing marcys butt forward with his head. can u guess who were their riders?
So now the plan is to get rid of this horse smell, go see the sights and get to know the local cinema. (Again, important to make team hotel feel at home).
Until next time, sahar.
