limerick, day 1

Limerick

there is a church bell that rings 38 times at 9:44. i haven't the slightest.

i enjoy having a kindle. i read in people's park, which is quite lovely, if not a little small. there were lots of kids playing in the playground, and people walking about. it turns out today is a bank holiday here, which explains why so many shops are shuttered, and why the city is so deserted. at least, that's the explanation i'm hoping is correct. i'll find out tomorrow.

i read in the afternoon as it rained again for a while, and spent a few hours booking future travel plans. after dinner i mostly finished up the rest of my trip's travel, although the rail trip from holyhead to london remains unbooked. i tried several of the booking agents and they all managed to fail - either they didn't accept US zip codes, or the visa check failed (likely because they didn't present the address correctly). i should have enough time at the station after getting off the ferry to get tickets, though, so i'm not worried.
