  Mullingar and the cat in the field.

We went to a pub that night to meet Avril's friends ( too many french). They are all working on the archeologic sites. Seems to be a busy historical place. They are doing research in a old prison in runes. But what the hell there is so many french in this town? It still in the middle of nowhere. Its like if there was 50 irish people in Lozere or Larzac.. nonsense :D
The day after, we went for a big walk in the hills. We went to see a big cat in the field, he was very very big. something like 6m high! and he was in stone! This rock was meant to be a religous meating point in the past and one of the St Patrick magic kind of place as well :D
so anyway i climbed this damn rock without any trouble (im still a jedi). The view was breath-taking. So cool, you could see far far far away, fields and sheeps :) and cows , and even some lamas ( we met some on the way). This rock is meant to be the center point of Ireland.
on the way back, that was a dangerous adventure, we had to cross swamps, with nasty crocs. I though jen would have drawn in the 5 cm of water :D. Later we were in troubles with bulls in fury. That was a bit scary, and i really though they would have attack us. But they were probably scared by me ;)

  Back to Leitrim !

hello les amigos!!
some news after a marvelous weekend in the countryside, full of adventures and dangers!!
So, i went with Jen to her town Ballilamore (in litrium :) to see parents and friends. And there were new puppys. Ohhhh they were so cute, like little rabbits. They were 5 or 6 but in total, with the bigs greyhounds, they are loads. id like to have one, but a baby only. I didnt walk the dog that weekend. At night we went to the pub hype of the town, drinking beers and beers until 2am. That was a nice night.
The day after was an historical and archeologic day; we went with jen's sister. Avril, to see graves in a old monastery. And that was so disguuuusting!! First we had to get in the old church in runes. so we had to climb above a gate, there was 20cm to pass your body. i tought i would have die, pierced by the gate. and i would have stay there for centuries, with my cool squeleton. Anyway, im not a "tapette" (camp), so i managed to pass. and inside that was so morbid. there was humans bones everywhere on the ground, and on new graves. Because they used the old ground to dig new graves, so the old deads where dispatched all over the place. I didnt want to touch it, but Avril, crazy person, she took a few bones ("for scientist experience she said"), she found some finger bones, some teeth, a bit of jaws with the teeth on it, some bit of skuls.... beurk. we were nearly sick with jen. But thats still a good souvenir for me, cauz i ll remember that commando trip, that was funny.
Later at night, we decided to go to Mullingar (Avril's town)...
