As my time in Ireland winds down I am starting to think about things I want to do before I leave. One of them is to swim in the Irish Sea. My friend Honor is hardcore and swims in the Irish Sea all the time so I joined her and another friend Erin for a dip today. The high today was 64, a typical summer day for Ireland. I have no idea what the water temperature was. Suffice it to say that getting in the water up to my neck and staying in for a few minutes was a very impressive feat. The Irish say you will start enjoying the water as soon as your body is numb. I stayed long enough for my legs and upper body to be numb but my arms felt so strangely cold that I got out after a few minutes. Anyway, I am quite satisfied that I did it and even happier that I lived to tell the tale!
