Am I Traveling Like Wes Anderson?

May 2, 2023April 30, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

There is a fun little fad I've seen going around Instagram over the past week or so where people make videos as though they're in a Wes Anderson film. My favorites have been about a guy visiting his favorite lighthouse, one from Barnes and Noble, and a local video company showing off some of their … Continue reading Am I Traveling Like Wes Anderson?

My plan last night was to catch a bus out to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin- something I had been looking forward to since I started planning this whole trip. Around 4:00 this morning, though, I woke up feeling horrendous. Achy muscles, sore throat, headache, coughing. It was dreadful, and I didn't  get back … Continue reading Ireland, day 6

I went to Galway Cathedral on Sunday, then wandered around city central and down some other streets I hadn’t been down before. The weather was still a bit dodgy, culminating in a sudden, violent downpour that knocked over a vendor's table of pottery at the weekend street market. After that, the sun came out like … Continue reading Ireland, day 5

Today did not go as planned... A good friend arrived in Ireland yesterday, and we had intended to meet here in Galway before she and her  mother went on to Connemara. Unfortunately, the airline sent their luggage to Paris instead of Dublin, and they had to wait around for their things to arrive for so … Continue reading Ireland, day 4

It's  a bit late but I was dead tired last night, and pretty much went straight to bed. I can now  say that I have been on a boat on the ocean! Granted, it was  a ferry, and nothing grand, but still. I was on a boat on the ocean. Anyway. If you ever find … Continue reading Ireland, Day 3

I made it to Galway without incident! I didn't quite take the right bus (I ended up on the regular bus instead of the express, but it only took half an hour longer), and I got lost straight off the bat (I missed the turn, which was right there, and not  straight on another block), … Continue reading Ireland, Day 2

I am in Ireland I arrived this morning after a seven  hour flight, during which I got next to no sleep. I tried to nap, but really, can anyone get much sleep on a trans-Atlantic flight? After an accidental nap in my hotel room, I set out to explore. It turns out that there isn't … Continue reading Ireland
