Malahide Castle, Dublin

Yes it's true, Ireland has plenty castles and Malahide is one of them. I went to Malahide Castle cycling from my house, about twelve kilometers, nonetheless the way is really flat so you can enjoy cycling just as looking the views and gardens. This is one of the oldest castle in Ireland, surrounded for 260 acres of beautiful flowered gardens. People were there playing soccer or having a picnic on the gardens. I enjoyed walking across of them, and incredibly I needed to seek a shade, because I was rousting, we had twenty five degrees, believe me, in Ireland this is so much hot; eventually I finished my visit reading a book lay down opposite the castle. There were many children belong a school trips, so the atmosphere was cheerful and riotous. I found there beside the castle, an old crumbling abbey with a little cemetery. On whole the views are wonderful and in spite of I didn't visit the castle, I was delighted with the sights.

Reflections

Lately I feel empty, nobody knows what will happen behind the corner, but it looks like I couldn’t already feel anything new, neither writing these lines are filling me. Sometimes the sadness is overwhelmingly stronger than the rest of the feelings and you can’t live up to your own expectatives. A friend of mine told me, not really a lot of time ago, she belives in people, I wish to trust in this fact but I can’t, besides if I can’t trust in myself, How could I belive it?...

The time goes and I remain in the same place, the wind ride its properly aromatic breeze summer and I smell to homesickness yet, I’m waiting for the spring when the autumn is already here, if I think in white the reply is black…

Eventually I’d preffer don’t think, I would like to live in peace and enjoy looking to myself and thinking that today I’m nearer to the happiness than yesterday.

A little trip in Howth (Dublin)

Howth is like a peninsula in the north-east of Dublin. A lot of time ago was a village of fishers but nowadays is a district of Dublin. Is a very busy place in holidays and at weekends, many people usually go to this part of Dublin for walking, having a coffee or eat in a restaurant. Is a very expensive place where usually live rich people. You can see the size of the houses, they are bigger than the rest of the city and if you are richer you'll be living at the top of the hill. Anyway, Orla and I went to Howth to practise some sport, in our case hiking round the hill. We could enjoy walking with the sights and breathing fresh air. The trip actually was a little bit tiring because eventually we spent four hours walking, but you can choose shorter ways. Here there are some pictures of this place.
