''...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.

Greg, Sands, and I Europe » Ireland » County Kerry » Tralee

Connors Pass....

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 [View Full Entry]

Back in Tralee....and some more.. Europe » Ireland » County Kerry » Tralee

Our new irish friends...

Since jen and i stayed home while everyone else was kissing the blarney stone, the neihbors decided to take jen and i out to the bar. Well... it was more than we bargained for. I think they thought we could handle more... This was not the case. Jen got sick. I almost did. I think we just ended up passing out. All in all tho we met some great new irish people, girls actually. They were really sweet. ... I also am adding some pics from Horans Night Club when we went with the neighbors. A bunch of us ended up [View Full Entry]

muckross house

Ok so the past few nights ok for the past week we have been drinking like fishes and have been having a great time. Jen and i got to know our neighbors and we actually enjoy their company. They make fun of us and it makes us relaize the differences between us and our countries. Theyre outlook on life is so different from ours and they actually make me feel kind of spoiled living in the UNited States. They call us F*ckin Yanks... and theyr accent is just hilarious. You can barely understand them because they speak so fast, and they [View Full Entry]

Drawing Closer Europe » Ireland » County Dublin

Well, it's my birthday today. Happy Birthday Shannon. lol, yes that would mean I am laughing at myself. hehe. Today has been an amazing day of drawing closer to God. There are many people in my life at the moment who know exactly who God is. They may even believe in Him and claim to have a faith in Him...yet they do nothing about this belief or faith. Faith without works is dead. This got me thinking into my own life and how much I rely on the people around me to convict me to truth. When in all reality I [View Full Entry]
