Baaaaaahahaha you described Irish country driving to a T! Those narrow roads (called boreens) are apparently the width of a cow and a half coz that's all the farmers needed to move their cattle before the car was invented.
AFAIK, the reason the roads have walls and hedgerows along them is that they are historic borders of land plots and owners were required to show their boundaries by digging a ditch and putting a mound of dirt alongside. Over time they became roads because that's how people used to navigate by walking along the ditches. Hedgerows are very effective windstops and the walls were projects from the last century or so as a way of providing employment.

What this means is, unless you're a local and you know the roads well, you have to drive pretty slowly round bends and if you are behind a tractor you just enjoy the scenery coz they hardly ever pull over for you and there's no way to pass them out.

Enjoy Egypt! I have a few Gypo friends and they are the best. Plus you must try mahshi if you get a chance, it's SooooooooOOOo delish!

Actually the boreens were easy! Those were generally pretty lightly traveled. They weren't as wind-y, so you could see someone coming from the opposite direction, since speeds were slow there was plenty of time to find a spot to pull over slightly so you could squeeze by each other.

Where my hives started was traveling along the southern coast, say from Waterford to Kenmare. We were on busy 2 lane roads that each lane was just barely wide enough for a small car, and with the hedge covered stone walls and ditches on the side. Makes me itchy just thinking about it :lol:

Oh, and I plan to eat EVERYTHING in Egypt!

Stone masons build pretty much anything out of stone. I don't know what people who do gravestones are called

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
