The weather outside is frightful so I stayed in last night and scanned some old photos from a trip to Ireland ten years ago. Back then you had to go to a camera shop (or Walmart) to get an enlarged image. Now with a scanner you can do it yourself. Unfortunately as you enlarge a photo the details don't always become clearer, just bigger and more fuzzy. (click to enlarge these)
What's funny about this particular guy is he has an "Escape to Milwaukee" sticker on his wall. (Terrence Berres will be happy to see that.) Somewhere in Milwaukee I bet there's an "Escape to Ireland" sticker on a wall. The grass is always greener, although it's literally true in Ireland.
Irish sheep. They just look cool. A scene of infinite "bucolity" (a neo-neologism).
Hipply-attired Irish girl amid the old world architecture. Her shoes look distinctly uncomfortable, and it would seem the lack of socks would cause blisters.
An authentic Oirish pub! Nothing says "stupid tourist" quite like taking a picture of the interior of a pub but...
A breathtaking view
