So this weekend was the big "Ring of Kerry" Trip- which there were like 45 Quinnipiac students and 50 Loyola students. To say the least the trip definitely did not go how we intended it to. The ring of Kerry is this gorgeous coastal tour and views throughout Country Kerry and Kilarney. However the weather was HORRIBLE this weekend. And when I say Horrible- I mean that the trip should have been canceled and re scheduled for a different weekend. For starters we wer...

Dairy farm day three- Today made it our last day here in Durrus- western cork, and as I sit here on the bus writing this I am so sad to leave. Amy and Rob have truly been so amazing and I am so blessed to have gotten to know them- they are those rare kinds of people you meet in your life that truly make an impact on you and are so unbelievable genuine and humble you want that for yourself. After wakening to the down pour of rain outside this morning in a big co...

Being so close to the city we forget about the beauty of rural Ireland and that it exists- even though it's what we came here to see. It was so nice to finally be able to see some green again rather than the traffic lights.. It's been a couple weeks....

Today was the definition of a perfect day as Holly, Alex and I traveled to Kinsale, Ireland- One of the oldest fishing harbors in Ireland. It was a beautiful day, yet again with the sun shining and no rain- we were really lucky that it was so gorgeous out! Kinsale is a typical harbor town, but still beyond gorgeous- and honestly has been my favorite place in Ireland yet. Something about being near the water makes me feel at ease and like I am back home- it really...
