Ireland 2009 - Day 1

IMG_1419 We land in Shannon airport on time. The sky is cloudy but the sun occasionally gives reason to hope for the better. You complete formalities with the budget we have a Hyundai Accent with an automatic transmission. The vehicle is in poor condition but is found convenient to drive. Chew on the road and we head towards the Dingle Clare led dall'inossidabile voice.

As we approach the county of Kerry the weather improves and we reach our B & B on the Connor Pass Road under a sun almost Mediterranean. The temperature is pleasant, and we give ourselves a break in the beautiful porch of the House Dunin.

IMG_1555 We decide to visit the cliffs to the west and enjoy the best views of the bay.

Here a stiff breeze and sparkling us back to normality of the Irish climate. Let's go back to town in time to book a table at the Old Smokehouse and prepare the stomach for one of the best fried fish in the area.

IMG_1582 We conclude the evening migrating from one pub to another in the lively center of Dingle. Tomorrow we expect from the lovely beach of Inch.

It 'the first time, after so many washes in Ireland, I decided to change the routine and fly directly to Shannon. In retrospect I would say that is a very convenient choice for those who, like me, loves particularly the west coast of the island.

... And tomorrow we go!

He takes the suitcase of the closet, you print the sheets for check-in and you write the last blog post before departure. Yeah it sounds a lot like the holiday 2.0.

By this time tomorrow I will be in Dingle and I am sure I will be sorry for having already spent a day in Ireland.

See you soon!

U2 - Live in San Siro 07/07/09

U2 are back in Italy. They played at San Siro in front of 80 000 people. We talk about records. One thing is certain: U2 confirm the biggest rock band in history. The show was amazing Grant by a monumental stage (The Claw) and a fireworks scene.

IMG_0832 U2 talk about the music they made. They did this both to celebrate the myth of Jacko is to attack our prime minister. Yet another lesson in style media.

Plenty of space left to historical songs to the delight of fans. I Still Have not Found What I'm Looking For fading Stand By Me by Ben E. King among the choirs, Angel of Harlem (with a dedication to Michael Jackson when he sings a couple of steps from Man in the Mirror and Do not Stop Til You Get Enough) and Party Girl with her daughter Memphis Eve called on stage to celebrate birthday while the stadium sing Happy Birthday. Vertigo is a slap in the face of energy, I'll Go Crazy If I Do not Go Crazy Tonight Larry Mullen leaves the battery and steps on a bongo. Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride are history. Of rock. MLK is the other History, speaks of Martin Luther King.

IMG_0811 The only enemy (invisible) ASL was in Milan that has imposed a limit for the ridiculous decibels (78 !!!). If you do not have the courage to host such an event is better than not doing it in half.

"I do not want to disrespect the people of this country, the person of the Prime Minister and his party, but Ber lusconi made promises which he maintained in regard to poor countries. Proximal to the G8 in my day you decide on the gift of life. I write songs, he can write the story. " And the One devotes a very very special.

"No Excuse: Bono Nobel '
