I Wrote a Blog

For school I was given an assignment to write about my community placement.  So I figured I would copy the link here for anyone to read if they so choose :)

Just an Awesome Rainbow

It was raining yesterday and just looked gloomy, then out of nowhere this awesome rainbow appears.  I see rainbows all the time in Ireland but this one was super vivid.  I used a color enhancement option on my camera to really show how great this rainbow was.  This view is from my apartment balcony.

Collections of Me

I have been told that I have not been posting pictures of myself, mainly because I am the one taking the photos.  So I finally went through my friends pictures of me and uploaded them here.  Hope you enjoy them!

Spring Break to Dingle, with a special friend :D

This was a wonderful week in Dingle, Ireland.  It was full of imaginable fun and was over way too soon.

Michael and I had just arrived.

This is part pub, part hardware store.

A picture of Main Street, Dingle.

This aquarium was better than Boston, in my personal opinion anyway.

We both got to pet stingrays, surprisingly they're very friendly.

Baby starfish <3

Baby stingray!

Michael's first Irish Guinness.

We got to go horseback riding, super fun but a little more difficult than originally expected.

We had just started a two hour coastal tour of Dingle.

Everything was so pretty on the tour!

This is a river that flows over a bridge, it's called the upside down bridge.

This is a Beehive hut and hundred of years old.  It is made of dry stone, the stones are placed in such a way that they're still standing today and are angled so it stays water proof on the inside.

This cross was constructed because it is the farthest point of Europe.

Look at how handsome he looks!

So many Irish rainbows!

This trip was wonderful and honestly there are not enough words to describe it. I am glad I was given the opportunity to go, and especially more so, for the fact I was able to spend it with my amazing boyfriend Michael.  The week ended too soon but was totally worth it.
