From what I've seen this man lives in this spot fishing: I later found out on our tour that the salmon are just beginning to run. Evidently the river will soon be filled with salmon and fishermen. These salmon do not go upstream to die but go back out to sea after spawning.
The cathedral at the entrance of the University. Below: A bizarre ruin in the middle of a field surrounded by semi modern housing.
Rain materializes out of nowhere the Irish say it is a wise man who carries an umbrella when it is sunny (I got wise after day one). That said it was a beautiful sunny day today about 70 degrees. I went to class twice (one introduction in the morning and a lecture on the Irish vs. U.S. education system in the afternoon). I got lost twice once on the first trip there and once on the first trip back. I keep trying to find the ideal route. I think I have it now. I had an hour and 15 min for lunch but by the time I got home I only had 15 min. to eat. I have to leave 30 min. to walk each way to the University. Cristopher and Dave played ball, watched Wimbledon and made one of many trips to the super market. We are off to town for dinner.

Get yourself a bicycle, there most be plenty of them around there. Go for the thighs, too!
Again, get yourself a bicycle, there must be plenty available there. Good for the thighs, too!
(Same message without typos)
I found some short cuts so it is only taking me 20 min. now. I may get a bike at some point but the walking is good exercise.
