over 5 years agoOideas Gael organises Irish courses in Glencolmcille (Gleann Cholm Cille) and the village of Cashel. From the class room, you have a view of the Atlantic Ocean, and Slieve League. From day one you are immersed in Irish language, music and culture and their method ensure you’ll be talking a few words ‘as Gaeilge’ quickly. If language isn’t your thing, you could do the hill walking course, or archeology course.
Though I never did become fluent in Irish, I enjoyed my stay in the valley immensely and went back for another taste twice or more. The area is remote and barren, but beautifully so.
over 6 years agoTwice in my life I travelled through Toronto. Once with my parents in 1976, on our way to Vancouver. It was our first big trip but we were unimpressed because we couldn’t a decent restaurant to have dinner. I think I bought a pair of cowboy boots.
In 87 I had 7 hours between flights so I took a bus to a mall and bought U2’s The Joshua Tree on LP and cassette tape (so I could listen to it on my flight back to Europe). I remember being so lost in the music, I forgot all about shopping and just sat down and listened and waited until it was time to go back to the airport.
Worth visiting? I guess I don’t really know. But it was worth remembering.
