Isolation in Ireland #19: Booking a bike in Ireland
Isolation in Ireland #18: Quarantine routines
When the situation is out of control, there are two types of people: those who tighten their control over everything they can, and those who… I don’t even know what the alternative is, descend into chaos?

People you meet while traveling: The friend who appears when you need it the most
A brief break from Isolation in Ireland to give thanks to strangers turned friends/therapists that were present when I needed them the most. We’re never alone, even when we don’t know anybody – or in today’s wacky world, when we can’t see anybody. Can’t wait to have dinner together again!
