Bono Sighting!

Today I went for my usual walk/ run. Though, after last night, it was more walk than anything. Some of you know this but others may not. I live in the same neighborhood as Bono and the Edge (of U2 fame), Van Morrison, Enya, and Maeve Binchy. Bono, Enya and Van Morrison all have houses on the back side of Killiney Hill where I walk.

I decided today to head down Vico Road which takes me down to Killiney Beach and walk the beach for a bit. On my way back up the very long hill I see these two men running towards me (obviously they weren't running towards me just in my general direction). The one man was dressed head to toe in spandex and the other had this crazy white hair and was in shorts and a t-shirt. I kept walking and as they passed I made eye contact twice with the man in spandex... yes my friends it was the great Bono himself. Just in case I thought I had lost my mind (as he was NOT wearing his trademark purple glasses, just a skull cap hat) I asked my host mom about him when I got back. Apparently his house is right on the corner of the road and the man with the crazy white hair is his friend who owns quite a few pubs in town....

Just another day in Killiney I guess.
