Leaving home should be easy when you're about to explore one of the prettiest countries for six weeks. No phone, limited internet access, lots of new friends and neverending cities: what more could you want?
But what if something from home is hanging over your head? How do you escape? Someone e-mails me and the subject line says "Respond ASAP" and another e-mail includes a phone number that I should call at your earlies convenience. But I don't want to (and can't really). I want to enjoy Ireland and let things at home work out themselves. Is that possible in our ultra-connected high-speed world where something that happens in the furthest city can affect you anywhere in the world?
Right now I just have to let things be. There is nothing I can do about the situation at home right now.
Today is our last day in Cork, and I'm sad to say goodbye already. Time is flying much faster than I anticipated, though I knew the summer would be over before I could even realize it. This city offers so much to do and I wish I could have walked to even more places, eaten more quality cuisine, heard more stories from locals.
Three more cities to go.
