A happy little place on Earth


So some friends and I decided to have a long weekend and go to Scotland and Ireland in May 2008. In each place, one day was spent in the city and the other in the country. On the Ireland leg of our trip, we had no idea where to go. Tours were outrageously expensive because of the £, so we said, "we'll do it ourselves." So we spent like £6 and got a round trip bus ticket to a place called Wicklow--it had the best pictures in all of the tourism fliers. 

When we get off the bus, we see water in the distance and start walking towards it. We made it to the grass--thick and soft like a grass blanket. And I found this little patch of amazing and decided to spend most of the day there. We had a little picnic, had a little nap and eventually had to go back to Dublin. If I go back to Ireland, it will be my goal to find this place again. Are you coming?
