Mermaids

I think if mermaids had to have hair and it had to look like some kind of seaweed type plant, then it would look like the water weeds in the River Lee by UCC. My camera can't capture the billowing, glowing green of these eerily hair-like tendrils, but trust me-- we have here the equivalent of plant hair.

Not to mention you can totally see my shadow on the bridge.

That was yesterday though, with the walk to the bank on campus to close my account. Today was sell back the textbook I forgot to take with me yesterday day. So maybe I only got 11 out of 33 euros back and maybe I only needed about three articles within the book to pass the class, but hey, the book itself probably weighs twenty pounds, so at least I'm not carrying it home. Laurie joined me in my adventures today, closing her own bank account. Then, who should we meet in town, but the fair maid Mika. With all our souvenir shopping complete, we headed for Jackie Lennox's for, perhaps, our last Lennox fish n' chips meal. Laurie had the fish n' chips, I had the fish, and Mika had curry fries, which she is glad to show you.

Here, Laurie holds up a forkful of fish, while Mika is blinded by the sunlight. Today was brilliantly sunny, while maintaining a jacket-worthy chill. We are so going to melt into gloopy puddles when we step off the plane in Alabama.

I believe the Covers have been sleeping off the aftermath of the last exam and walking around Fota respectively. Tomorrow, we're off to the Aran Islands. Should be too much fun!
