I was lucky to be in kilkenny most of the time but was in waterford carlow a good bit near the end. Also was in the office at the wrong time one day and ended up having to go to Cavan almost 4 hours away for a few days we were only doing snags still it was grand for the summer. But being on sites all around the country would turn into a pain. I suppose that just comes with the work though.

I don't drink so I do appreciate a nice place to eat or anywhere historical/geographically interesting. I've had the privilege of working on some of the greatest geographical wonders in the country, and its always a privilege.

This is my 5th Saturday in a row staying in a hotel and will be again in Dublin next week. Could get used to this rock star lifestyle :P
