Boy, I wish I had written this right when I got home while it was still all fresh in my mind. Anywhoo -- My trip to Ireland was amazing. Exactly what I needed - Good music, good friends, good food (I know, in ireland...shocked me too)
I stayed with my sweet lovely Caitriona in her huge falling apart mansion in Cork. 
We played sessions.... I met up with my dad and Cano and Javier and pat - 
Drank Guinness....
Then Sinead and I went up to Galway (where I havent been in 7 years!!) And Saw old friends. Stayed with Anthony, made some new friends :)
Session in the bus....
hahahah, poor sinead and I, when we got on the bus we took the only two seats left... soon to realize we were sandwiched between two heroine junkies on their way to Limerick.... Mine kept trying to rub up against me until he told me he was going to pee in a plastic bottle and I had to make a run for it... The girl on the other side of Sinead was harmless (once we realized she was just really really high and not roadsick like it appeared, this was actually comforting because it really looked like she was going to hurl....) hahaha and then after my junkie finished peeing in the bottle, Sinead's junkie asked if she could have the bottle to take to her doctor for her piss test later on.... And just like that, a friendship was made.
Went to visit Ita Murphy and her kids Ruby-Jane and Eamonn (my old host family) ~ It was surprisingly emotional, brought back a lot of old memories.
Then on my way home - I freaked out on the plane and decided against getting on another flight - so I went to the train station where I met up with my old Cuban boyfriend Jorge in Madrid! It was really fun and nice to see him. I feel so lucky that I can go back and re-visit the people from my past and still feel so connected to them all!It was a good trip~~
