Alrighty, it's been awhile since I've last blogged, so I'm going to attempt to highlight what has been going on over the past week, just my experiences in Ireland and my activities in Winchester. Still, it could be a long read, so maybe you'll want to grab a cup of coffee, or perhaps a spot of tea before settling in to read...
DUBLIN, IRELAND... with Hannah, Laura, and Lauren
Thursday, March 5
- Leave for DUBLIN, IRELAND - 3 methods of transportation to get there: train, coach, plane
- Arrived at hostel, Jacobs Inn, mid-afternoon. There could be a seperate blog on the tales of what would happen there over one weekend, but basically the hostel featured a random butcher knife on the floor of a room, 4 missing passports and wallets, an unintelligent thief, and two crazy sisters who lived there...
- Pub, The Boar's Head, for dinner - quite the tasty food
- Nap
- Pubs for a ridiculously expensive drink and live music - but what else is there to do there?
Friday, March 6
- Wild Wicklow Tour, a day-long coach tour that took a group of about 30 people on a tour of the Wicklow Mountains and country-side.
- Saw the P.S. I LOVE YOU bridge!!!
- Met some other exchange students from the U.S. and Canada who are studying in France
- Met up with those students in the evening for some live music at Porterhouse
Saturday, March 7
- Wandered around in the morning until we found THE Guinness factory, which we then toured - I had a soda at the top, because I can't drink beer... which is ok, because I'm told that it's nasty
- Toured the Dublin Castle, not quite what it was cracked up to be, but neat nontheless
- Shopping
- Hung out at the hostel (night of the "big heist")
- Super-market supper and a movie at the hostel
Sunday, March 8
- Ate breakfast, checked out of Jacobs Inn... happy day
- Reverse travel back to Winchester: plane, coach, train
- Plane was literally struck by lightening, but nothing severe occurred because of it
- Back in Winchester, safe and sound
Monday - Wednesday, the 9th-the 11th
- Worked on essays, which are extremely difficult to focus on
- More planning for spring break - am no longer stuck in Malta or Greece
- Got the song "Something Beautiful" stuck in my head - amazing song, major revelation to me, listen to it if you have the chance, or if you have never heard it before... it's by Newsboys
- Went to cell group, or bible study... it was good to finally feel connected in fellowship and in the word with other students
And that has been my week. I can't wait to see what the next few weeks will bring, especially as I have to finish my first round of essays while travelling and visiting with dear friends. Even more importantly, I can't wait to learn more about what God has in store for me, the beginnings He's going to give me...
