Sunny? Ride. Rainy? Ride.

I guess I don’t really have much of a choice since I don’t have a permanent spot to stay on the road. Embracing the suck is part of the adventure to me and builds resilience as a person.

Besides, the rain is temporary and if you ride far enough in Ireland, you’ll escape the rain to a patch of sun to dry off long enough for the next round of rain 😹 This makes it tolerable to me.

I’m trying to find the purrrfect balance of finishing up Ireland/ the UK and getting to the West side of Europe so that their temperatures die down. It was 116F/ 46.8C in Spain a few weeks ago. Rain might be miserable, but that heat is absolutely intolerable. The other thing I have to consider is finishing before the winter comes and temperatures DROP 🙀

It feels like I’m playing chess with Mother Nature ♟️ Just a little peek into my decision making and what I need to think about when living in the elements

Is there anything you’re musing over?

Let’s tackle this week y’all! 😼💪🏍️

The spirit of Ireland ignites on St. Patrick's Day, transforming the entire island into a vibrant tapestry of cultural celebration. While the world dons green attire, there's no place quite like Ireland itself to immerse yourself in the joyous festivities. A Week-Long Extravaganza: St. Patrick's Festival St. Patrick's Day is just the tip of the iceberg. Ireland ushers in a week-long extravaganza known as the St. Patrick's Festival, a spectacular display of music, dance, and captivating outdoor shows. The culmination of this joyous celebration is the iconic St. Patrick's Day parade, snaking its way through the historic streets of Dublin on March 17th. Witness a kaleidoscope of colors as marching bands, exuberant floats, and lively dancers fill the air with infectious energy. The spirit of celebration extends beyond Dublin. Regional parades in cities like Kilkenny, Limerick, and Killarney offer a unique opportunity to experience the local flavor of St. Patrick's Day festivities. Each region adds its twist to the celebration, ensuring an unforgettable experience in every corner of the island. Tracing the Footsteps of St. Patrick For those seeking a deeper connection to Ireland's patron saint, a visit to Northern Ireland, the "Home of St. Patrick," is a must. Located in Downpatrick, the St. Patrick's Centre serves as the world's only permanent exhibition dedicated to this revered figure. Delve into the life and legacy of St. Patrick, gaining a deeper appreciation for his impact on Irish culture and history. Celebrating Virtually: Livestream the Excitement Can't make it to Ireland in person? Fret not! Tourism Ireland brings the magic of the Dublin parade directly to your living room. This year, tune in for an epic livestream featuring commentary from PBS star Mickela Mallozzi and Irish TV legend Francis Brennan. Experience the electrifying atmosphere and vibrant energy of the parade from the comfort of your own home. Sustainable Celebrations: A Green Commitment While the world adorns itself in green to celebrate all things Irish on St. Patrick's Day, Ireland is taking a different approach to "going green." The island nation has made a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This dedication to a greener future is evident throughout the hospitality and tourism sectors, with many businesses adopting eco-friendly practices.

Schon sehr lange hatte Melanie den Wunsch, einmal zu den Cliffs of Moher und nach Irland zu reisen. Die Kliffs von Moher sind wohl der bekannteste Anziehungspunkt für Touristen. Das es in Irland aber noch viel mehr zu entdecken gibt, ist klar. Wir wollten mal herausfinden, wie viel man in 4 Tagen in Irland erleben und sehen kann. Dabei haben wir neben der unglaublichen schönen Natur, den Kliffs und der typischen irischen Landschaft auch außergewöhnliche Unterkünfte genossen. Eine Nacht direkt am Meer, ein wundervolles Hotel in Doolin und eine Übernachtung in einem alten Doppeldeckerbus.
