Garville Court Ennis

i have a strange feeling that i will not be staying on top of this until i get home...i've been crazy busy with school and trying to maintain somewhat of a social life. well anyway, my mom will be here on Friday! i'm so excited, i just can't wait. my aunt and my cousin are coming too and we're going to have so much fun! well time to get more work done so that i'll be able to have fun while they're here! love you all and i'll be home a month from today!

... everyone here automatically thinks we are American until we tell them...then they pull a complete change in attitude. Apparently they arent very fond of Americans...hence the Canada flags all over our bags. We're about ready to tie Canadian flags around our heads! Following the escapade in the hotel dining room, Nic and I decided it was a grand idea to call Harry and let him know we were in Ireland...and everyone else we know! new rule...no drunk dials!<br>

so i haven't updated in a while and i have about 6 entries that i need to post, but i've been super busy with midterms! i miss everyone and this weekend i will hopefully be posting pictures and entries of everything that i did while i was in the UK. i just wanted to let everyone know that i'm ok and just trying to power through all this school work.

... the carlsbad caverns, but i guess thats me just being spoiled. Then we went on to the Cliffs of Moher and what a beautiful site! I have to say that we could not have picked a more perfect day! It was a bit cloudy when we first got there but the sun came out quickly and It was absoloutly gorgeous. In Palos Verdes we have alot of cliffs, but they really have nothing on these bad boys. They were absoloutly HUGE! (215 meters high to be exact) It was ...

... would have ordered dessert! Patricia was especially good visiting with the boys; not everyone makes connection with teenaged boys but they found some things in common to talk about.<br><br>After last night's fiasco, and not having any bread crumbs to make a trail, I decided to head back to the B&amp;B before dark so we bid farewell to our new friends, topped off the petrol and off to bed.<br>

As you may recall from the last post, I was looking forward to seeing an M.A. student, Eoin Coughlan, playing acoustic guitar at Dolan's Pub, as well as rock climbing at the Burren. Well, I was not disappointed. Saturday night, Philip, Deitike, Kelly, Dorien, and I took the bus into the city and walked to Dolan's. We are all in the traditional Irish music class and had been given free tickets (worth &euro;11 ...

... was very friendly, and took the required 40 seconds to fully explain all the wonderful things on offer in the area. My favourite was a walking tour that took me about 15 minutes to complete and traversed around such diverse ecosystems as "a street" and "a polluted river". Realising I would have to manufacture my own good times, I hung around the communal area of the hostel, laying in wait for unsuspecting backpackers to harass into coming to the pub with me. This did not take long, as ...

... rather long trek to the famous sights. Some of the stops included a walk through a cave that was in the side of a huge hillside. It was a cool experience and at one point in the tour the guide turned all the lights off to show you exactly what it's like in the cave...yeah,you guessed it, it was dark. The ground isn't really ground at all it's rock due to the fact that the glaciers upon melting after the ice age took with them the ...

... jobs at drugstores--I'm too old to do that. Too skilled, as I realized when I redesigned my resume yesterday. I don't want to pine away here while my bank account dwindles away to nothing. I don't even feel like sightseeing, here or elsehere. This is my dream of living in Europe. The grocery store is low on fruits and vegetables, and vegetarian food is essentially nonexistent. Galway is nice but not amazing--despite the medieval main street and the ...

... sized suitcases to the cab heading out the bus station for Galway, I had high hopes, and little did I know I would never be able to live down the next 3 days.
