Paris to Dublin

I've been watching the weather forecast for a week now, and I know a week is a long time in both Irish weather and politics. So lets not talk about politics. Same sex marriage, austerity measures and financial crisis are headlines I'm long tired of.  Lighter here : http://www.kevinhayden.book.fr
I've been weather watching lately because it's been so damn cold and miserable in Paris and Ireland and I have a landscape photography workshop to teach from April 1st to the 7th in Co. Donegal, and as the Aer Lingus aircraft made it's final approach to runway 10/28 the amount of white covering the land was  quite shocking. I didn't bring skis, and the last time I skied I almost broke my ass bone so that's a non runner.

With some of my clients coming from sunny California my first though was shit, how am I going to do this? They'll freeze to death!
Well as I lay on my king size bed in the very comfortable Radisson Blu watching the RTE news http://www.rte.ie wishing to hell the weather was the first item up, but no it never is. Anyway contrary to the news the weather was a more heartening subject. It's going to get warmer...+1°
The thought of driving from Dublin to the northern part of Co. Donegal in a blizzard is not my idea of fun.

I must say before I forget, and I know I repeat myself but Co. Donegal has to be the most spiritually enriching place after Burma I know of. It's the mountains I guess?
http://www.siskiyous.edu/shasta/fol/nat/henn.htm Native Americans found the mountains to be of great religious symbolism, and they had a special relationship with mountains.
So perhaps there's a breed of native American Indian in me?
Bottom line is, it's all good. I made it from Paris with 30kg of gear without breaking my back. Only waited one hour for my dinner to be served, but it was worth the wait. I didn't say that at the time. Time does heal. It's 08.20 Irish time and my favourite meal of the day awaits me...full Irish breakfast.
I'll continue this when I get on the road, typing and driving is not yet outlawed.
