Ireland!

I'm back after a very long hiatus!  Ironic that my last post was about Halloween, a holiday we got from the Irish.  I'm going to talk about what I've done so far through the pictures I've taken.

 I was lucky enough to see a rainbow on my first day in Cork! 

This is the walk into downtown Cork from the university and where I'm living. 

Downtown Cork.  I've heard that when the drunken Irish are feeling particularly boisterous they like to jump in the fountain on the right. 

As you can see from all of these pictures, it has been rainy most days in Cork.  The natives call it "The Wet" and it really is wet ALL THE TIME.  I feel like I live in a puddle.  I love it here but the constant dampness is definitely something I'm going to have to get used to.  

We were treated to a very nice dinner at this place (I already forget the name) and the weather was beautiful for about 3 hours!!  Which was lucky because this place was full of photo-ops. 

This one's for Mom.  Yes, all the flowers were real. 

This is the only picture of campus that I've taken so far, but there will be more to come!  Half of the buildings look like Hogwarts and the other half look super modern, it's a very cool place.  

I love and miss everyone!! I am however having a great time here and hope to have lots more stories to tell!
