A bad case of the tireds

Yesterday we rented a car in Belfast and drove north to Portstewart where we met the landlady who showed us through the house we will be renting for the next 6 days.  It is an amazing place.  It sits across the street from the ocean.  This morning Doug and I were taken by Ronnie to a series of lakes and a grand lesson on how to fly fish for trout.  Must’ve been a good lesson because us two numbskulls actually caught trout as a result of the fly fishing lesson.  It was catch and release and we caught and released.   I can’t speak for the others but I am exhausted.

This driving on the other (wrong) side of the road is a trip.  Tonight, we’re all tired and coming back from the restaurant to our place on the beach.  Nothing better than driving on the wrong side of the road in the dark, in the rain, on a 2 way road that is only slightly wider than the gravel lane in front of our house at home.  Let’s just say that the wheels and side mirrors of our rental car got “dusted off” all the while our heart rates were maintained at aerobic levels. 🙂   You just can’t buy this kind of fun!!

    Not the best way to get an adrenaline rush but it sounds like your are having a great experience! I wonder if Irish trout taste different than American trout. That is a a legitimate question considering Pacific & Atlantic salmon taste different.

    on a more positive note, we found that there were far fewer driving instructions coming from the back seat. Abject fear and shocked silence CAN be a driver’s second best friend!
