Last Day in Galway: Bike Tour of the Aran Islands

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything lately. I've just been so overwhelmed with work these past few days that I haven't had any time at all. I'm currently running on four hours sleep but the good news is the end is in sight! All I have left is a play review, a test, and the exam and then I'm done! Because of all the homework and projects and presentations that have been due this week I only had one chance to see the city and it was on the first night here. I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to go back down town because what I saw was really cool and I would have liked to explore a little bit more. Oh well, nothing I can do now. We leave for Dublin tomorrow at 9:30 am sharp. We have the weekend to explore Dublin though so that's good. Anyway today we went to the Aran Islands which were very cool. A bunch of us rented bikes when we got there and went up to a castle ruin on the top of a huge hill. Seriously it was so big I almost passed out before making it to the top. It hurts to sit now too because the seats were so small and uncomfortable. After the biking we went and got lunch and then explored the shops a little bit. I didn't buy anything but I regret it. There was a cool woolen sweater shop there that had some really neat stuff. I had fun anyway though. It was a great day and the weather was perfect. Here are some pictures from my bike tour:























Hope you enjoyed. Sorry they're all out of order. Bye!

Off to Galway Today

Today is my eighteenth day in Ireland. Its been raining all morning of course. At 9 we're leaving for Galway. I don't know what the internet situation is there so I figured I'd add the pictures from Cobh yesterday before I left. It was a really cool little town. We went to a musuem and a church and then just wandered around for a bit. I had quiche for lunch! It was delicious! Okay here are the pictures. Bye!

Last Day in Cork!

Today is the last day in Cork which is really sad. This place is like home now, it's going to be weird to leave. I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I've been really busy and we haven't done many interesting things. Yesterday we went to Kinsale though. It was a great little town. We went to a cool old fort.I also bought some souvenirs for people and we all went swimming in the rain! Soo cold! I still have a chill. After Kinsale I did my laundry and then Maddy and I watched a movie. Today I have to do homework and pack and clean the apartment and then I'm going to Cobh at 12:30. Here's some photos from yesterday.
