I love it...I have some pictures of our trip that have roads narrower than that. They literally had grass growing in the middle of them..I'm going to use the title "Literally The Road Less Travelled!!!"
Yep, that's what the country roads are like in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and pretty much most of Europe. But you wont find drivers on cell phones or eating and so there are way fewer accidents and auto insurance is cheaper. I'm guessing driving on the left didn't help much either. But you did it my friend, and the Lo is a great tribute to your adventure. Beautiful.
Hey - we love our country lanes!! There are lots and lots like this in the south west of England too! Very funny lo and beautifully described from an American point of view (who could ever need an 8 lane highway anyway?!)
I'm glad I took a closer look at this layout, its really very creative. I was a geography teacher for 25 years, so I enjoyed your humorous description of the Irish.
I was browsing my old favorites for inspiration and came across Rebecca's Bonded layout. I loved it and decided to do another lift since my design mojo seems to be missing.
This is one of my vacation pictures from this past summer of one of the roads we drove on in Ireland. Yes, that narrow thing is a two-lane road and was pretty much what we drove on the entire trip. I'm sure my rental car has permanent indentiions in the steering wheel from me gripping it so hard! That being said, by day 3 I was driving just as crazy and as fast as my Irish brethren; it definitely got the adrenaline going! The journaling reads: Irish roads are a test of courage, lunacy and sheer luck. What should be a one-lane road is instead a major two-lane highway, full of twists and turns. Shoulders and guardrails are practically unheard of. Instead, walls of rock or sheer drop-offs hug the edges and dare you to admire anything but the asphalt immediately in front of you. Buses and large trucks that do not fit inside their lane can frequently be found hurdling around the corner towards you. And the speed limit for these roads? 100 km per hour (or faster). The Irish seem to look upon the speed limit as more of a suggestion as to the slowest speed a driver should maintain for ANY reason. A change or two of underwear is highly recommended!
