And by cooking I should clarify that I mean I sorta-kinda-not-really helped 2 of my friends cook a delicious meal of salmon, mashed potatoes and snap peas (which were essentially my contribution to this masterful meal). Anywho, most nights we all kinda cook for ourselves or if, like me, they are often too lazy/tired to cook, make a sandwich of pb&j or ham & cheese. But this meal was awesome and definitely the best I've had since I've been here. Pretty much just felt like commenting on that... :)
Day 14: Clonakilty
A friend and I heard about a juggling festival schindig that was going on in Clonakilty (pronounced the way it looks) and thought we'd check it out. So we get up, are all ready and head over to the bus station close to what time we thought the bus was leaving, based on our interpretation of the bus schedule....no dice. We apparently read it completely wrong and wound up having to wait about an hour before the bus we needed showed up. Joy. Oh well, then it was a pretty and very scenic hour ride to Clonakilty.
Once in Clonakilty, we realized how SMALL this place was. Oh my goodness. I could get around the part that actually was a "city" (since most of Clonakilty was farmland, so I don't really count that in terms of size) in about 10min- tops. It was very quaint and colorful and probably had a population of 2,000...on the upside. I took some pictures that I need to get up. Anywho, we found the juggling people, but it wasn't quite what we expected. It was billed as a festival and all, but it turned out to be a group of jugglers performing (mainly) for little kids in a gym....wtf? At least the street performances were good, I wish I could've some on film, they were that amazing.
Despite the slight letdown, it was still fun, and we checked out a model village place that had scaled models of Clonakilty and the surrounding area. Pretty neat, again have pictures that I'll probably put up in a bit.
