Halfway through First Visit

It is Wednesday night, 10:02 pm here in Ireland. But back on the east coast of the United States it is 5:02 pm. Exactly two weeks ago today, I was near Central Park, excited about the adventure I was about to embark on.
You would have thought by now, some of the excitment would have worn of. Or that maybe I would be less nervous about the adventures I'm going to have. But no; I'm still excited, still nervous.
I'm about halfway through my time here with Kate (been here a week and a half) and in another week and a half I will probably be heading to Wicklow County, Ireland (about 40 minutes south of Dublin) were I will spend a month helping take care of competition and rescued horses on a family run farm.
I haven't been near a horse in about 5 years, since my summers away at camp, where I took horseback riding pretty seriously for a city girl. I'm excited to meet some new horses. And maybe ride one or two if the owners are amenable.
As much as I love it here at Kate's, I am ready to see more of Ireland.
