Bonus Points Bran - that was easy....front middle....what kind of bonus points do I get? Although I have to say it would be been easier if you had been standing up because you were probably the tallest. Great pics. Love, Cath
Trips Bran, will you get an opportunity leave Ireland and go to any of the other countries near by? Ford's oldest daughter, Heather, and her son, Felix, live in Inverness Scotland which is on the bank of Loch Ness and is very beautiful there as well. If you get to go over that way at all, let me know and I will give you her number so you can find out the cool places to go! Keep blogging...love the stories and pictures. Love, Cath
Awesome buildings Bran - I completely agree that the building are amazing and you are doing a fabulous job taking photos to share with the rest of us! I am really glad that you are getting to do so much and learn about the area you are in - that alone is priceless! Which girl in the photo is Gina or is she not in this picture? Glad you played along and had a great time! Looking forward to your next blog - have fun! Love, Cath
fun Brandon, I am really happy that your getting to experience so much. Hope you do enjoy it to its fullest potential. Have fun, be safe, and do not get arrested---lol

Galway trip Hey Brandon, Your trip to Galway sounds amazing and your pictures are great. You certainly look happy in the pics and I am glad everything is going well. Keep taking good care of yourself and I will look forward to seeing some photos of school and your living arrangements. Love, Dad
Missing picture Hey Brandon--- I (Pappy) was disappointed there was no picture of Michelle!!! Sounds like a great family to be visiting, all that good food. Yummy In one of your blogs will you describe you experiences in one of the pubs in which you partake.
Enjoy yourself and keep eating!!!!
Wow! Wow Brandon!
I'm jealous of your fantastic adventure! I'd much rather be in a magical foreign land than in a smelly, dirty apartment. Also, there's probably less dirty, salty slush and rock salt on your carpets.
Sincerely,

Hahaha love your description of the food! Sounds like my 3rd host mother. She kept feeding me even when I said I wasn't hungry! Sounds like you had an awesome time though. Trust you to get stopped by the police...j/k ;p
Love the photos! Gorgeous! Now I have a strong desire to visit Ireland. I especially love the pics of Kylemore. A hell of a lot prettier than my highschool!
Weekend Trip Brandon, Loved the pictures from your trip to Galway - especially the Abby and the ones of you! The old church is pretty cool too. We have been snowed / iced in for over a week. Last Tuesday we had an official blizzard - 2" of ice and 13 1/2" of snow. Finally able to get out yesterday and have dinner somewhere other than home. Today...we got slammed with another 12-18" of snow and it is still coming down at the rate of 2" per hour. FUN. Guess we will be here for a few more days. Making soup and trying to catch up work a little! Have a great week and looking forward to your next blog. Love, Cath
pictures its hard to take pictures of yourself, and I have a hard time trusting people with mine. But if I notice other people posting pictures with me in them I'll make sure to throw them on here.
What a cool way to spend the weekend! Hey Brandon, It sounds like you ended up with a great family to spend the weekend with. Are these folks available for you to visit with a few more times while you are there? Between your description and the photos you took, it really helps me to understand what the home stay was all about. Thanks for sharing and I will look forward to your next entry. Love, Dad
Awesome pictures Brandon, Sounds like your "weekend away" was nice. Loved the story about the policy and ALL of the food! Glad you were able to get their names and numbers....never know when you might run across them again especially if the daughter is coming to the States to study!
Have a great week back at school and keep posting on your blog...love reading about your adventures.
