More Ireland

So I have now left Ireland and have traveled through Wales and am currently in London. I had a freakin great time in Ireland, and have so much to tell. To keep ya'll interested, i will only tell my highlights of Ireland...enjoy!!




OH MY one of my favorite parts of Ireland for some strange reason was Inch beach in Dingle Bay. (great Names huh) I just loved being at the beach and me and my friends took some sweet pics. I have hoards of pictures so I will spare everyone by only posting a few. This is a picture of                                                                                                                  me and my groupies in Ireland!!!

After much effort.. we reached this Irish waterfall. It was gorgeous and such a nice break from riding in the bus. Me and a few friends ended up actually getting so that was a plus also!

















Well lookie here... this is me and Kenzie throwing our one cent euros into the Blarney castle river.. wishing for even more luck than we were about to get by kissing the Blarney stone. One of the most famous Irish castles contains a rock from the 800's. Rumor has it that if you kiss it, you will have Irish luck. Problem is, it is at the very top of the castle, and under neath a ledge. In order to kiss it, you have to bend your head back and kiss the stone that millions have kissed. So.. i did it! and after looking 100 feet to the ground.. it was worth it. Man these Irish people.. after kissing the stone and wishing in the river.. I sure have become more lucky! I mean look at me! I'm in Europe:) 

Well that's it for now.... and i apologize for the crazy formatting, i seem to not know how to use this blogger thing! ha ha ta ta!

still here!!



So I am still in Ireland and loving the heck out of it!!! Through all of the touristy activities, and bus rides, there are definitely highlights that have stuck out. Here are a few of them along with pictures!!

 We went to Killarney city which was a 20 minute drive from our Hostel. After eating in a pub, we could either walk to the hostel or grab a taxi. Me and most of my friends didn't want to pay the cab, so we decided t walk home which was an experience of a life time. We first got lost, and had some 10 year old Irish boys help us which was squeezing ourselves through a hole in the fence onto a main highway with no sidewalks. we then walked on the freeway for 2 and a half hours till 11 pm, (and it was still light). Best part was the little Irish boys were in love with us and followed us unitl they couldn't. One little boy was trying to impress us and almost biffed on his bike... as he recovered from his incident he replied in his proper Irish accent " I almost broke my ball sack!!" (pardon my language) we found it hilarious.. and eventually made it home safely. 

Pictures... me and my friends at the canons in Bunratty castle, and riding the Dingle Penisula dolphin!!!

Only 2 days in Ireland... so much to tell!


After spending a whole day and night on a plane, I can say I was pretty grateful to get out of the airport. The plane ride was quite eventful because I took a sleeping pill and did not remember all the things the grandmas next to me were telling me I seemed to say. Regardless, I slept better than most. 

And let me just say...Ireland... is better than i imagined. It is B-E-A-Utiful! It is everything you think it would be... green farmland everywhere, sheep, cows, and little cottages. It's not just the physical atmosphere that makes beautiful, but it's the people here and what they live for. They absolutely love to drink here, and are proud of it. They are very warm and welcoming people who want to know about you and your life. The best was when an old Irish man stopped me and my friends for takin pictures with his flowers, and talked to us for at least 10 minutes. The people here really value family and are dang proud of their heritage. So basically, I love Ireland because life here is peaceful and not rushed... and you feel simple and content!! ...........Can't wait till I'm old and can retire cuz I might just find myself back here frolicking with the sheep and leprachauns!

Hey Guys, 
Yes here I am starting my own blog! Why you ask? Well.... mainly so my family and friends can learn of my freakin sweetness in Europe, and as I talk to my friends here, it seems like the thing to do! Plus it is fun to keep track of your friends and here their thoughts and ideas..(well i think so). So I hope this helps and please keep in touch because I miss you all!
