I had a really great weekend with Katie and Teresa (my kind-of little sisters) visiting us. We went to the Boda Borg, we snooped around abandoned houses and cars and took photographs of everything, and we went surfing in the icy cold waters of Sligo. Actually, with wetsuit, wetsocks, wetgloves, and wethood, we got wet, but really did stay pretty warm. As a person who is perpetually cold, this was a great and welcome surprise for me, and it made the work of surfing so much easier.
And let me tell you, it IS work! but work that is well-worth it. We had what was meant to be a 2-hour group lesson, which went on for nearly 3. The instruction was good, and the staff was very helpful and encouraging. I will definatley try it again. I got up to standing successfully on one occasion, and it was a fabulous few seconds. The rest of the time I paddled my arms out of their sockets, I had great fun knee-surfing, and riding the waves.
