quick update

I left Jagur Organic around March 25. It was a good experience in some ways but I think I was starting to go a bit crazy so it was time to move on. I had a week or so before the next farm so spent a few days in Galway kayaking (I still have my roll!) and ended up going to Dublin for Passover for a second night seder at the reform synagogue there. It was cool to see the Irish Jewish community, and everyone was real friendly and welcoming. I heard the 4 Questions recited in Irish too.
I took a quick trip to Doolin on the West Coast afterwards to hear traditional Irish music and rent a bike to cycle around the Burren and Cliffs of Moher, both amazing places. I also proceeded to lose my camera somewhere between there and here :( so this blog will become considerably less interesting unless I get a new one.
I'm now at a cattle farm in Co. Leitrim. There are about 30 or 40 cows, 18 calves(!) an apple orchard and small garden just starting. I've never worked at a primarily animal farm so its been interesting.
