Day 16 - Kinvara
... sup> views – All we got initially was 360o views of rain as the skies had opened up with a vengeance. We sat in the car and waited and eventually, the rain passed over and we could get out.

The other way tou look over the rest of the island (which is fairly flat) and across to the mainland aqnd ...

First Week of Classes

I walked to Curry’s to return my non-functioning hair dryer and get a new one (hair dryers have been causing quite an issue it seems) and then went to campus to make sure I got my political science/sociology classes I had registered for the other day.
