Where would you rather be.

Where would you rather be?
I would rather be in the fields of Ireland.  I’ve never been to Ireland, just seen pictures of the beautiful landscapes, but I would want to go to the brew masters and get me some of their domestic.  The land looks awesome and if I was to get bored there, which is highly unlikely, I would go and take another trip right on over to Scotland and see the castles.

The smells of the place.
Well the smells of Ireland.  If I had to pick a smell that you would…smell in Ireland, I think that you would smell a lot of sheep dung in areas, because of the sheep herders.  Another smell would be a salty smell of the ocean.  The nice smell of humidity from being close to the waters.  A nice smell of grass would be blowing through the air, also a clean smell in areas due to vast fields.  Also you would smell hops in the bars and breweries about Ireland, cause who isn’t going to visit them.
The sounds of Ireland
One sound that I think that you would here is the sound of crashing waves around the edges of Ireland, considering its surrounded by water.  The sound of birds/seagulls flying overhead around the ocean sides.  You would also hear the sounds of sheep calling in the distance.  There would also be sounds of people laughing and having a good time in the nearby taverns, to further this, glasses clinking, stories telling, people singing, just good folks having a good time with the occasional bout.  Sounds of cars driving down the roads in the cities.  Sounds and chatter of people in the cities, would be yet another you would hear.  Another sound would be the sounds of wind passing through the grass blowing it to and fro, without the care in the world.  Around the country sides would be the sounds of peace echoing.
Sights of Ireland and Scotland
Now this is a toughie for me, so far each of my senses have revolved around the same things and I could keep going and going with the same for every one of them but let me try to change it up.  Of course you could see all of the things that I have described so far in the other senses, but one of the sights that I would really like to see, which is the main reason for me wanting to go to these places, aside from the brew masters, is the castles.  The vast castles of Scotland and Ireland alike would be fine places to go and see.  Another would be the vast fields of green grass and small rolling hills, not to mention being surrounded by water would be a cool deal.  To go to the beaches surrounding and see the different rocks and sea life that had washed up on the shores.
Things to touch in Ireland
Well of course we could talk about the curly fur of the sheep that you will be in contact with.  Another thing would be the nice smooth feel of the grass that you could lay down in.  Feel the cool water of the ocean.  You could feel the cold stone walls of the castles, which have of course, that weathered sandy feel.  The castles would also have old wood, that is riddled with history, scratches and holes and knots to the point that it feels as if it could fall apart in your hands.  The feel of the dusty country roads at your feet as you walk them for your adventures.  The feeling of the rocks down by the ocean, all sharp and ridged.  The feeling of good Ireland cooking in your stomach, would be one of the feelings that I would want to experience.
Things to taste in Ireland
Ok I’ve never been to Ireland or Scotland so this is going to get weird quick, for I will run out of things to talk about really quick.  You could taste haggis from Scotland, which I would think would have an interesting taste about it, and by that I mean that I think that it would suck very badly.  I mean, it doesn’t sound appetizing one bit.  Another, aside from haggis would be the rest of Irish and Scottish cooking.  Another taste would be salt in the air from the ocean, the taste of farms in the air (some good some bad).  Another taste would be of the many types of beers and whisky.  I would love to try straight Irish whisky.
