The Rocky Road


Today we truly got to see the beauty of Ireland. We took a bus tour to Wicklow and saw some of the most beautiful scenery. I swear there are more then forty shades of green.We had a wonderful old man named Joe show us around and give us more information then we could possibly contain.  Going through monastic sites and hiking up trails to mountain lakes we experienced Ireland. While this may be an odd word to use I feel that it is too difficult to describe it in another way. I have never felt the world around me buzz like it did in those hills. Walking through ruins we were able to really get a feel for the ancient world that had existed before. Looking around this beautiful place a few tears were brought to our eyes as the realization of our leaving started to sink in. Memories of our adventures through Europe flowed through us like a sad montage. We will be back that is for certain. Though we hit so many countries and seen so many sights, there is still so much more to see. I think we have a keener sense as to who we are and what we are capable of now. To me at least, I cannot speak fully for Stuart, the world feels more accessible now and the scope of what we can do as individuals is greatly increased. I know we haven't been the best bloggers but we do thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers as we have pursued this dream of ours. We are headed back tomorrow for the states and landing in Billings. We will be there for a day to regain our bearings and adjust, then we will be back in Livingston with stories to tell.

Thank you all for your time and thoughts
Hook & Schmee
