yesterday afternoon





Hey folks,

It is about 4:15pm as I am writing this (yesterday). We are on the coach bus headed back to Galway. We spent the day in County Clare, Ireland, at the Aillwee cave and Cliffs of Moher. The cave was spectacular, and the cliffs breathtaking. The Cliffs of Moher were featured on Harry Potter 6, as well as the Princess Bride (cliffs of insanity). The cave was just discovered less than 50 years ago when a sheep farmer was trying to collect his sheep. So, in transit to all of these sights, we travelled through the Burren.

In the Ireland class we had in the spring, every student had a topic they had to research and write a paper and do a presentation on. We are also doing follow up presentation here in Ireland at the topic’s area. I did the burren, so I gave my presentation today. The burren is a 300 sq kilometer area of limestone rock. That’s about all there is to it.

They serve beef lasagna for lunch all the time here in Ireland. Im tired of potato anything.
