Today we left the confines of the tower and the warm coziness of Cushendall to travel to the city of Ballymena, where we got set up with cell phones, bought power tools, fiberfill for the “creatures,” and health food stuff. We ate lunch at the the Bay Leaf Restaurant. The highlight of of the meal was a dessert made by and for angels– called pavalova. It’s a fluff of meringue and whipped cream from contented Irish cows. Did I say that having eaten sticky pudding, I was pretty sure I wanted to move here; now I know I do!

The cow parade slowed the bus ride considerably for a few glorious minutes.

I completed my drawing for last week yesterday, and I will have it up tomorrow, if I can find a scanner.
