''...the green and troubled land of
tourist brochures and news headlines.''

Quote from: Ireland, A Novel by Frank Delaney

Warmed and cooled by the North Atlantic stream and location respectively, Ireland is never extremely cold or extremely hot.

This celtic isle is stoney grey, rugged mountains, cliffs and dewy greenness. Windswept and misty, you will likely need an umbrella anytime.

From the ring of Kerry to the tatched cottages of Conamera to the Giants Causeway, may the road rise to meet you and may your hassles be small ones.

Ireland has folklore, lively music, dance and haunting ballads. Kiss the Blarney stone and join the locals in one of the pubs which outnumber just about everything for a pint of black and tan, or ten. Then rise up yer skirts and kick up yer heals for a bit of mighty craic with fiddles, harps, jigs and reels.

Dublin! Europe » Ireland » County Dublin

view from guiness gravity bar

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 [View Full Entry]

Green Eyes from Tipperary Europe » Ireland » County Dublin

hores Abbey

Last time I visited Europe I lost my soul. I did not loose it all at once, but in small increments. As such, bits and pieces of my soul are floating around the United Kingdom and it is about time I started finding them. I captured a piece back last weekend from Beavertail in Edinburgh, and so now off to Liverpool, where I am certain the Embassie Hostel will offer me a small bit of it back at a reasonable price. What started as a simple day trip to Liverpool, brought the birth of, what is sure to be one of [View Full Entry]

Goodbye Tralee = ( Europe » Ireland » County Kerry » Tralee

accumulated alcohol bottles!

well all ready to leave Tralee.. and then were off to dublin . I cant wait. Only 4 more weeks until its time to get home. The culture is so different , the food is the worst, and worst of all, i dont have my boyfriend to share it with. Zach sent me the cutest card. Most of the time if im sitting here not occupied, i get depressed, but then i think only 28 more days. I have been debating whether or not to spend thanksgiving with zach and his fam, because then i wont be able to see mine.. [View Full Entry]

Galway

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.
