"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." - Henry Miller

To the left, to the left…

To the left, to the left…

The car I rented in Dublin had enormous yellow arrows on the windshield reminding me and other non-UK drivers to stay on the left side of the road.  Although I have visited the UK more times than I can count, this was the first time I opted to drive myself, and I have to admit it took a little getting used to.  I would not recommend doing it alone, however.  If at all possible, bring a navigator to help you through the twists and turns.  Between the map, the GPS, and the voice in my head singing “to the left, to the left,” I was able to avoid sheep, cows, oncoming trucks that seemed impossibly wide for Ireland’s narrow roads, and too many wrong turns!  I made it from Dublin to Laois a little later than I had hoped but otherwise without incident, and I was rewarded with a stay at the incomparable Ballyfin.
