3 day Paddywagon South Ireland Tour

Friday morning we met up at 6:30 to go on an adventure in southern ireland! Arrived at the place very early and just waited around--then we loaded on a bus: 3 from my apartment and 11 others from the program plus about 15 other random people. First stop was Phoenix Park in Dublin--it is europe's largest urban park. This cross was where the pope spoke and 1/2 the population listened. It was pretty windy up there.



Our first stop outside of Dublin was Furbane--our driver Joe's hometown. We basically stopped there for coffee and to see a wooden sculpture in the church made out of the special wood in Ireland.




Scary but cool sculpture!


The cows and calves!



The oldest monastic settlment.





This was our final stop on the first day: Galway. It was an amazing town with lots of history, shops, and nightlife!




Some of my roommates might have found Irish lovers that night! It was a fun bar with live rock music.




Most beautiful stop, Cliffs of Mohr!




I'm basically crazy...




thatched roof cottage



cathedral in Killernay




lake in a national park during our horse drawn carriage.



mmm. beef and guiness stew!



our crazy 14 person hostel.



Blarney Castle


I kissed the stone!


Yay for a fun tour.


It was a great trip...more details later probably.
