There's something refreshing about standing outside in nothing but your shorts on a 26-degree NC morning. (at Chapel Hill, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clqn_2VLxOn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Who else thinks getting the scarf was a brilliant idea? Might of been better for my Yankee days but still brilliant. #sexyjimmyd (at Chapel Hill, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkeSwfVv86p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Synchronicity: as I mentioned before, I decided to walk downtown. The pictures of the market were special to me because when I visited it before I took a picture of a bicycle that I wanted. I threw it up on my vision board for motivation. A version of that bicycle now sits in my bicycle area at home! Any metaphysical shop is a favorite of mine. One of these days I'll talk about revisiting the Mustard Seed in New Hampshire. Normally the crystals and bundles of sage catch my eye but it was The Raven that I was drawn to. (See video) Feeling a bit hungry I decided to go down to the wharf and visit the fish shop that I ate lunch at a few years ago. For lunch I had the smoked fish sampler. I'm a big fan of smoked fish so this seemed like a no-brainer. I don't remember the sitting area or the food truck from last time. It didn't matter, my legs were a little bit sore and I needed to rest for a bit. I'm just about at 50 Irish miles since last Wednesday. I looked at my phone and the clock said 1:11. This isn't the first time during my trip that I've seen synchronousity. It's probably the fourth. After lunch I started to walk back to the hotel. I noticed a bunch of people gathering over by the boats and I decided to investigate.

The last chapter: I've been to Ireland multiple times but I've only been to Bray and Howth once. It's funny, I kinda think of my previous visit as a short story that really needed a stronger ending. That's what this trip was about building on that story. The cosmic energy nudged a different path and helped with the evolution of today's story. After leaving the hotel in Dublin I went to the train station to find out that all the trains to Howth were canceled due to track repair. The nice Irish guy at the train station said that the bus was an option. So I went over to the bus and found they were jammed packed. So I quickly downloaded the local Uber and got a ride. Due to the favorable exchange rate it wasn't that expensive. It allowed me to see a whole different part of Dublin and Ireland. It was similar to the ride from Route 1 Portsmouth NH to Boston. The random hotel that I booked had a last-minute cancellation and that afforded me a room that overlooks the ocean. I decided to take a walk through the small fishing town. More to come. . . . #ireland #howth (at Howth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYZtU5rC0u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
