You'll have to excuse my photo, I haven't quite figured out the whole taking pictures of myself in new places things. All my other photos show me blocking the lighthouse.
Like,
Oh, well.
The bike ride was intense. The wind was blowing, and the hills, though not steep, were long. 17.2 km from Tintern Abbey to Hook Head Lighthouse (almost 11 miles) and the same back. But the sun was shining and I couldn't resist.
Now, Hook Head Lighthouse is a tourist attraction. The first I've been to in Ireland. But unlike the tourist attractions in London, England or Washington, DC, most of the visitors seemed to be from the country we were in. They were just enjoying the view.
I did take the opportunity to be sappy and look out over the Atlantic Ocean towards home.
You can't see it, but over that horizon is the East Coast of the United States.
All in all, the day was a success because I got to see more of Ireland.
Tomorrow, I'll finish posting my pictures from my first week in Wexford!
