Well now, we have just spent a day in Wales. While there are no Orcas here, there are beautiful landscapes and castles. The boat ride from Ireland to Wales contained incredible views, and less sea-sickness than I figured, so it was a win for me! When we arrived in Wales, we then travelled to the Beaumaris Castle! Walking through the top of the castle was so beautiful even if I almost was attacked by a mother bird lying on her nest. Once we got inside the cente...

HIYA! We've just finished our first real day in Dublin. I started my day at the most beautiful St. Patrick's Cathedral. Now, as a Catholic I've seen my fair share of churches and cathedrals, but never have I felt emotionally connected to a place. When I walked in this cathedral it was almost as if calm had come over me and my all of my problems were dispersed into the stone monuments.

This is our second day here, we arrived last night but I immediately went into town with some other tour mates to explore. I was well too tired from flying to blog, but I'll make up for it today! This has been a whirlwind of a day. First, we went to the Kerry bog village, w...

We've just now stopped for a quick lunch in a town called Adare. The houses and shopping centre in town is incredible! I've added a photo because of the incredible colors. Toto, I'm not in the boring colored town of Smithfield anymore! Jenny, Amanda, Hannah and I just went to a small restaurant for lunch, and although the water was warm and in a pitcher, the best is yet to come. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich, so my small American brain assumed the classi...
