It has been a busy week. This is the week before Spring break and my mom is currently visiting. It's a fun time, but I will have time to relax on my break.
My mom got here Sunday early. So far this week we have been going around Dublin and seeing the sights to be seen. When we go out to eat, we are making a point of going to place where I haven't been yet. One great place we went to is Bewley's on Grafton Street. It was recommended by Tom, the head resident here at the apartments. They have wonderful stained glass windows and it is very reasonably priced considering the location. Grafton Street is a reasonably touristy place (not as bad as Temple Bar) and the prices reflect that. We are going to Malahide tomorrow, which is a short train ride north of Dublin. We will also do the Guinness tour.
My mom leave Friday fairly early and then I will be heading to the airport later on that day. I booked my flights on the hostel in Florence, Italy. Oddly enough I am staying at Emerald Fields in Florence. I guess I can't get too far from Dublin in some respects. It is just me going on the trip, even though some of the other Champlain students will be in Florence. We don't have any plans to meet up and I don't mind too much. I will be there the whole time, which means I will be out of Dublin on St. Patricks Day. It would be cool to be here, but I'm not going to spend the extra time and money to figure out how to be here. I will shoot some video while I am there and post it. I just need to get some work done before I head out.
Below is a video from Ballintoy, the small town with 1 road and 2 pubs we stayed in when we were in Northern Ireland. Such an amazing sky.
With Peace and Love,
