Description
We have sheep in Texas, but we don't have painted sheep. I never got the opportunity to ask a local why the sheep had different colors of dots, and different numbers of dots as well. I'm certain it makes perfect sense, once you understand the system. No matter, it's a beautiful scene all the same. (And when the sheep or shorn, does the paint wash out of the wool?) So many questions.
My wife & I, along with her sister, took a week long vacation to Dingle Island, Ireland. This wasn't our ordinary trip, in that it was a " 2 boot walking tour." 2 boots is a way to describe the difficulty of the hiking. (2 boots is harder than 1 boot, but not as hard as 3 boots.) We hiked all over Dingle Island with day packs, and the tour guides would shuffle our luggage each day to a new B&B further down the trail. We dined sumptuously each night in a local restaurant, and there is more than one bar in Ireland to quench your thirst. Each successive day of the 5 day trip got a bit more difficult, as we walked further each day, and had a higher elevation gain each day as well. By day 5, several of our group had fallen out. It was a lovely country, filled with lovely people, and we'd love to return.
