MOst of us n the trip went however there were a select few that decided to stay back with professor sands and take their own whirlwind tour of scotland... Day 1..

Tomorrow night it is time to say goodbye to IReland Entirely!.. our bus leaves at 4 am to go to our ryan air flight to Edinburgh Scotland. Our dilemma tonight would be that ryan air flights only allow 1 bag 30 lbs only (before leaving home we each were allowed 2 bags, 60 lb capacity so u could imagine how much luggage we already had, not too add everything we had bought in ireland already).. anything else would make us have to pay overage charges.. Well.. we didnt want that to happen so professor sands said that we had to shove all of our stuff together and fit as many bags into each others as we can. I think we spent like 5 hours doing this. Mr. Sands, then took as many bags as he could ... read more

We finally arrived in Dublin, we are staying on a very busy street and we are staying at the Kinlay House another hostel. it is not the cleanest place, but it will do... Jen, Bev, Me, Dvora, Zach, and jeff are sharing a room, there are 3 bunkbeds, and the shower is disgusting, but its doable. Today we decided to get around and look at the city. We did this hop on hop off type tour. It bring you all around dublin in a double decker, and at each stop you can get off, and just go back to the station and hop back on and it picks u up again to go to ur next tourist place. It was very nice because u can hop off and eat lunch and get back on. It was ... read more

Hello again! yesterday we went on our last group trip of ireland. we made our way to Galway city. It was just another city like every other in ireland really known for shopping, everywhere you went there was a store.. the professor just wanted us to get out there and see what else there is. We also came upon a man singing on top of a trash can... Wow... We walked around the city, and actually went to see a comedian, very liked over there. His name is Karl Spain. After we left galway this morning, we went back to the cliffs of moher with the rest of the class. I wont put any more pictures up of the cliffs because i put so many on the other pages. I did include some pics of Galway ... read more

Today was a very random day. I decided to go on a little trip with Mr Sands(our professor) and Greg, another student on the trip, around the area. Mr Sands had a rental car, so it was easy to get around. We stopped in Dingle to get a bite to eat, it was really good. We went to the Derrymore Strand of beaches, and we wanted to go to this one place called "Castle Gregory" because greg thought it was an actual castle. Nope, it was just another town haha.. We then made our way up through Brandon Mountain and Connors Pass. It was breathtaking once again... We wanted to stay to make it to sunrise.. and we did =)... here are some more pictures for you to all look at and be jelous of me. ... read more
