I know, I know, it has been way too long since I have written, but I have just been so busy!!
We went to Ireland this weekend and it was absolutely amazing! We got caught up at the airport in London because we were told to go one way and were supposed to go the other way... let me just tell you, getting your visa checked and boarding card stamped is not a quick process!
Our plane was slightly delayed, so we had a chance to defrazzle ourselves before getting on the plane. If you ever travel to Western Europe, beware that RyanAir, while incredibly cheap, is also inconvenient and sketchy! The flight itself was great: 45 minutes in the air and you are there! My favorite part was flying into Dublin, because you can see the Ireland Eye, the island that you fly over as you come in for landing. I know everyone says it, but it is honestly SO incredibly green!
Our hostel was in the city, right on the main drag, so we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. We did some necessary shopping and a bus tour, saw Dublin Castle, and the Guinness Factory (naturally). Lauren and I loved the city, but we really wanted to see IRELAND, so we jumped on a train to Howth and explored the coast. It is absolutely breathtaking on the coast. The islands are beautiful, as are the rolling hills. The houses are built into the hills, and are practically right on the water. It was a little shanty town, exactly what you would picture Ireland as. I only wish we had had more time to explore the coast and really get to see Ireland, but that is just another excuse to go back!
Keep your eyes out for more articles coming! I have been working on a bunch, so I should at least have some sort of credit in a lot of stories- I am learning so much at the AP! And in class, of course. Midterms are next week! Ah!
Next up, Amsterdam!
Cheerio!
