Dublin love.
A reunion it has been. Ben arrived yesterday and we spent the evening at Sararose's flat, she was my first babysitter back in San Anselmo,Calfornia and now she is the nanny for Gweneth Paltrow's children and they live next door to her. It seems like a very surreal reality to wake up and have little Apple walk in talking about the rain and showing me her Winnie the Poo Umbrella. We had breakfast with them and then Ben and I came back to Nathalie and Ben's where ben was surprised by Odessa sleeping on the couch. I captured it all on video and it has been a nice day of rambling around and sharing stories with one another. They also have been playing music together, and i recorded a bit and will send it out soon enough.
On another note I wanted to share with you Odessa and my excursion to Dublin. We were only there for three days and were both ready to move in. Dublin was so welcoming and fun. Talk about a tiny city, it only takes 15 minutes to walk from one end to another. But the Irish are very welcoming and there are Pub's that stay awake until 4am. Normally this isn't what i would find welcoming but when you are traveling with a fiddle player and want to dance and get free drinks dublins the place. Odessa would woo everyone with her looks and her musical talent and I would tag along as we were welcomed into the community of late nights. Our hostel was under construction therefor it was really cheap and during the days we would wander around taking polaroids of castles and cathedrals then in the evenings drank guinness
and danced.
We met lots of people and Odessa busked in the streets to make some change for our meals. The tourists would take pictures of her playing and I found it funny because we were tourists as well. But i like it that wherever we would go people assumed we were a french and a swede, until we spoke with our northern californian accents. That always dissappointed the american boys. They came all this way to find two american girls from a state they had been to or even grown up in.
But Odessa and I made a pact to return to Ireland and travel around the countryside and possibly live in Dublin for a little bit...we will have to see.
But now begins the next part of this jounrey, Ben and I are to leave for Barcelona, we will be there for who knows how long and then off to Germany and the Czech Republic. The list of places to go is just growing by the day but I have no expectations for this adventure. It already has taken me down some winding roads of sincrinicity and testing my patience. But I will try to write soon when we get into Barcelona. Odessa should be arriving tomorrow in California, I miss her already.
