I was in Drogheda in County Louth 3 Sundays ago. The city was hosting Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann which means All-Ireland Music Festival. Every year since 1951, Irish traditional music competition is held week-long in this event. As mentioned in Wikipedia, “the goal of Fleadh Cheoil is to establish standards in Irish traditional music through competition.”

Powerscourt House and Gardens
travelUna brought me to Powerscourt House and Gardens in August last year. The place was breath-taking. From whichever direction I pointed my eyes to, the scenery was just lovely.
Dublin Bay Prawn Festival 2017
travelThe other weekend, I went solo to Howth Harbour to check out the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival. I came to know of this on Facebook. I was very excited about it because I was looking forward to tasting seafood in a while, was curious about the festival in general, and it was my first time to visit Howth.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter
travelEngland Series. Day 1.
Going to the Harry Potter studio was on my bucket list that I wanted to tick off right away from this trip of ours to England. I almost missed it though because I decided to purchase our tickets the very last minute. It was two days prior our flight when I checked the website to do the booking. OH, MY GOD! There was no available slot not until October 16 (and we would only be there the 13th to 15th). I never really thought they ever run out like that. So I head over to FAQs in the hope of finding answers on how we would get tickets. As a desperate measure too, I right away sent an email to WB to spare me some tickets. LOL.
Off to England
travelGladys and I had a very quick trip to England. I’d say it was quick because 3 days and 2 nights stay was not enough to go around and visit famous places in just London alone. Anyhow, finally, we carried out this long time plan of ours and had a very great time there.
Sneak Peek: 2-day West of Ireland Tour
travelWe had a blast weekend! Agatha and I had our very first tour of Ireland (outside of Dublin). We booked it online with Healy Tours for only €90 each. That price is cheap considering it covered a two-day trip and an overnight accommodation.
From our traipsing, I got around 700 pictures. I know that’s a lot but that includes photos of garbage bins, blurred captures, and everything else that I still need to sort. So for now, here’s a peep of the fun we had in Galway and County Clare.

Danao, Bohol
travelTo describe our getaway in Danao, Bohol as extreme would only be mediocre. What we actually had was a totally-crazy-gravity-defying-hanging-on-for-life thrill.
