Mullingar

We decide against heading north from Sligo, as Mylene has a plane to catch in a few days time. Cutting across the country means that our halfway point will be Mullingar. A last minute CouchSurfing request gets us in contact with Melanie. She lives on a horse stud and has had many career changes trough her life - design student, studying traditional chinese medicine (TCM) and rearing horses. She eschews life in the city for the more rooted rural lifestyle. What's particularly interesting in our topics of conversation is TCM and she has a private practice in the town. Her house is cosy, with a peat stove and simple but comfortable furniture.
