Here I am in beautiful Killarney...its so nice here...probably due to its small town-esque. I have decided on this trip that the big towns are just not me. I think deep down I was just a tree hugging hippie...wait what am i saying! So yesterday since it was supposed to rain (do they really need to provide a forecast here?) I decided to be nice and warm on a bus tour of the ring of kerry. Quite beautiful actually. Too bad I could hardly understand the tour guide. The bus was chock full of Americans who had not a clue what he was saying...well at least we got some great scenery. However...I was SOOO damn cold all day. and mind you this is with several layers on and a jacket and a scarf. I never warmed ... read more

Finally, it is time to leave Tralee!!. We are packing all of our bags up and heading to Dublin. Our last trip before we leave ireland all together. we wanted our last night in tralee to be a blast so we all got together, did a little pre-gaming and made our way to... u guessed it... the abbey inn. it was time to say goodbye to our new friends and let them know well miss them very much. I had the greatest time here and i never regret anything we did, even tho at sometimes i got a little bored, and maybe ate too much food just because... Ill never forget our neighbors, shane, seamus and dennis. And i will never forget Supermacs is another part of the food pyramid.. Coke is not the same as ... read more

hahahaha.... ok so today we went horseback riding. It was a really enjoyable experience. We didnt go very far, but it was quite entertaniing. My horses name was Davey, more like a pony than a horse.. "UP ON DAVEY!! UP ON DAVEY!!! (my horse was peeing and i didnt know you shouldnt sit on their back when they do, so the trainer was yelling at me to lift up my butt so i didnt hurt him) I think from galloping, the inside of my legs are numb for the next week..lol.. Later in the night we went to the circus. A one ring circus in a tent. It had to be one of the weirdest experiences of my life. I didnt know that there were actually one ring circuses anymore. The boy's got cotton candy, and ... 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

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 going that night. Drinks were pretty cheap and there were some crazy ass people there. This old lady was pole dancing and she had this long trench coat on.. I didnt know what to say, ... read more
