Ireland on $10 a Day Plus Shipping And Handling

After building a traditional Irish cottage in his back yard, this wannabe Peter the hermit retires from his day job to retreat to his hermitage. Bored with contemplating his belly button, he pipe-dreams of himself as a 12th-century medieval hermit on pilgrimage through Ireland. Then he lives the dream, turning fantasy into reality-not once, but twice-with stops along the way at a Benedictine monastery. Pulling his donkey cart over rutted paths of this ancient, pastoral island, he befriends village and country folk-and flirtatious farm animals-all for, he claims, $10 a day. Is this "how-to" travel on the cheap meant to inform and enlighten or a paperback writer's tawdry attempt to fleece readers of their pocket money? You be the judge! But first consider the evidence: come join this hermit on pilgrimage in his oddball odyssey through the Emerald Isle in prose and poetry.Carmichael, Don is the author of 'Ireland on $10 a Day Plus Shipping And Handling', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413776607 and ISBN 1413776604.
