Ireland was a wonderful vacation for Jill and I. We toured so much of Dublin (Guinness Factory where we tried Guinness....the milkshake beer I call it, Temple Bar Area, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Malahide Castle, O'Connell Street, St. Stephen's Park and Trinity College.) It was pretty amazing in Dublin! We also loved our tour south to Kilkenny and Glendalough. We hiked around a couple lakes and visited Kilkenny Castle. That was my favorite castle of the trip! Driving through the countryside was just like movies! I think I'm cursed with flight trouble, because we missed our flight home and had to stay in a hotel and catch the next morning flight home. The biggest worry was making it to class. Because if we skipped that day we would fail the course! Luckily, we made it with our luggage and souvenirs and all! We were late but our teacher was just happy we made it!
This week I am just finishing up with finals and presentations. Patrick arrives in Madrid on Thursday. So Wednesday night I will take an overnight bus to Madrid to pick him up in the morning. We are going to bus back up Thursday afternoon. Friday I have my last day of class before Spring Break. :) Friday afternoon and Saturday I will tour Patrick around San Sebastian! Sunday we are riding a bus to Bilbao to see Patrick's cousin, Erica and stay the night with her. Monday morning we will start our 12-day adventure in Italy!!! We're planning on visiting Rome, Naples, Capri, Florence, Venice, and Cinque Terre. Should be an amazing journey for us and we are thrilled! Look up pictures on Google of those cities because they are absolutely incredible!
