A Weeks Worth in a Single Blog

Well it has been a bit since my last post and I know that my readers must be feverish with anticipation for the next insightful writing. Anyway Ireland has become home, the day to day routine has been established, and comfort has been achieved. Now to ruin that feeling with adventures into the unknown (or maybe the touristy). This last Sunday most of the CSB/SJU crew visited the Blarney castle and kissed the famous stone of the same name. The castle and grounds surrounding it were quite the sight made even more stunning by the rain which seemed very fitting for the area. That night the group had a giant potluck, Chris and I supplied the main course of pork chops, and everyone else brought a side. It was a very fun and filling evening. Most nights have been fairly chill checking out the local music scene within the pubs and chatting with locals. Classes have ranged from tolerable to almost enjoyable, the teachers are clearly well informed on their perspective topics and the class lasts about 45-50 minutes which is nice. I plan on going to Dublin this weekend to check out the sites their and we will see what Ireland's mighty capital has to offer.
