We arose at the early hour of 6 AM local time to start our journey westward toward home. From the bus a hard frost was evident outside of Belfast, especially in the higher elevations. The Belfast-Dublin transport was full to capacity as we picked up riders along the way in small towns and shopping plazas.
One observation of the ride I'll share was of a pre-teen sitting two rows ahead of me with his/her hoodie up and over sleeping against the window. What was remarkable was the volume of his/her headphones. He/she (it) was listening to the radio so loudly that I could clearly hear both the music and details of the speaking two rows behind it. That is a lot of sound coming through a pair of tiny headphones considering a bus full of people is not exactly a quiet environment. What made it even more curious is that it's Mum was seated right next to it, seemingly oblivious to the ear drum damage going on right beside her. Are you serious? Preteens are admittedly kind of stupid, but the Mum should know better...right? I mean, right?
Thank you Ireland for a wonderful visit. Just to think, I was in the same city as David Hasselhoff last night! It is truly a magical place.
