Our early bus ride to Pisa Airport definitely took a toll on us in terms of not sleeping that great. We flew into Paris Beauvais airport, and when we got off the plane and walked inside, the first thing we saw were army men with giant guns. We were kind of taken back by this and wanted to get out of there as soon as we could. We then took a longer bus ride into Paris city center, and found the metro to take to our hostel, the Generator. We ate at our hostel a...

Our whole time in Italy, all we really saw for breakfast was pastries. We found some really cute bakery shops throughout the trip. After breakfast, we headed over to get tickets for the Duomo, which is the Cathedral. We waited in line to see it actually for a...

We got settled in and made our plan for Sunday, as we ...

Today we got to celbrate St. Patrick's Day in Cork! What better place to spend this Irish holiday? There were festivities in Cork over the weekend, including street vendors and performers. On Tuesday, all classes at UCC were canceled. There was a parade in Cork at 1:00pm and celebrations started as early as 10:00am! The streets of Cork were really crowded. My friends and I were actually overdressed compared to the Cork locals. Many locals just had a green ...
