It's Saturday and this morning we awoke to sparkling blue skies and sunshine like you wouldn't believe! It's really amazing what that can do for your attitude. We have learned from our two months here that when the weather is like that you really have to take advantage of it because it's not likely to last long. So we decided to take the bikes out and enjoy the day. We rode down to Salthill, which is this lovely little community right on the water and there is a boardwalk. Lots of people had the same idea and were enjoying the beach. We ended up exploring an area that we hadn't seen yet and found this small, secluded beach about 15 minutes ride from town. It was absolutely gorgeous and I'm really sad that we didn't take the camera. We stopped for a bit to sit on some rocks in the sunshine and take it all in. Marco actually went down to the water, put his hand in and decided it wasn't too cold. So, he took off his shoes and proceeded to wade in. He got about up to his knees when he turned back. Apparently, the deeper it gets, the colder it gets. :) So, we headed back towards home and about 30 minutes after we arrived, the clouds rolled in. Whew!
One funny thing about living here is that the summer days are really long. Right now it stays light until about 10pm. Even after that the sky doesn't really get totally black. Interesting. The flip side of that is that during winter the days are extremely short. We hear that it will get dark around 4pm. Ugggh! Not looking forward to winter. We'll try to enjoy this season as long as we can.
