In the village that I can't pronounce without "somone" laughing at me

Jill and I have made it to Donegal now. It's a beautiful little city!
We are staying in another Independent Hostel which I am enjoying much more than the one we were in two nights ago in Derry. I unfortunately cannot post any pictures but will try hard to when I get back.
Funny story, Jill and I were in Derry waiting to get on our bus when this funny old Irish man came up beside me and began blathering on. Within two seconds I discovered he was drunk. Not only do I have a bit of a time figuring out what people are saying here, but when they are drunk it's even worse! Turns out he wanted to know if we knew how to do digital imaging to get rid of something in a picture he took. We both told him we didn't, but he asked again and again. He went on talking and asking us stuff, like where we were from. He guessed that I was from Australia and later Jill and I had a good laugh over that. The best part of the conversation though is that right near the end her informed me that if he was a year younger he would have married me. Laughing I told him, "No, I don't' think you would have." He was quite the interesting man anyways!
I've seen so much amazing stuff and when I can put pictures up I will show you the wonders of it all too!

Derry and such

Jill and I are in Derry right now. We spent last night soaking up some of the sights along the river and doing our first night in a Hostel. It's sort of strange being in this big house with a ton of people you don't know. Not really any privacy either.
Two days ago we toured the Giants Causeway and saw some awesome sights. If you don't know what the Causeway is, Google it, it will blow your mind!! We also did the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge which was totally thrilling!
I have to run, but will hopefully update later.
Hugs to ya all, Karissa

Two days

There are only two days left of my "normal" life here in Canada. Two days and counting...(for any of you who have seen James Bond with my family you should be laughing right now. For any of you that haven't I'm sorry).
I amazingly only have a few little things left to pick up before I go. Slowly been collecting all those important little things that are vital to Jill and I's trip. Like Microfiber towels.
Let me tell you my exciting story about Microfiber towels. First of all, if you don't know what a microfiber towel is than let me explain. It's a towel, and it's made out of microfiber. :) Actually they're these great traveling towels because they take up hardly any space and they absorb water really well.
Second, they are really, really expensive. I called our pool and Valhalla only to discover if I wanted to spend $50.00 on each of them then I could obtain the perfect travel towels for Jill and I. However my mother, in all her wonder, called Fabricland, and they sell it by the bucket loads! When we showed up to look for the stuff the women helping us even offered to surge the edges of both towels for us. :D Oh happy day!
But the best part is, that they cost us about $6.00 each. WOOHOO!

Drafts

I was just checking my posts and I had four drafts that I've never published. One was just a title even, hardly worth mentioning. I guess that's me just starting away at something and then getting distracted like I so often am.
I must admit too that I do wish I was a better blogger. More dedicated, like Jill, but alas I am not. However I have decided that while in Ireland blogging (and probably Facebook) shall be my main form of communication because I will not be able to get everyone updated otherwise. So hopefully my skills at regular bloggage will increase instead of remaining a slow but steady stream.
