Sorry I have not blogged sooner a lot has been going on with school and roommates and just life... plus the Internet here is not very reliable.
The past 2 weeks have flew by...which makes me think before I know it will be going home which is sad to think about after a month of living here it's starting to feel more homey! This past weekend me and my two roommates Allison and Lindsay all went to Paris, France! It was a blast and for three under 21 year olds I think we did relatively well in a city that seemed about five times bigger then Dublin. I was able to navigate my way around a city that uses a whole different language. The metro in Paris felt easier to use then NYC to me! But after being in France it makes living in Ireland so much less foreign, which is crazy. The pastries in Paris I would say hands down were the best part. If any one ever goes please get lots of Macaroons!! (Chocolate and Carmel are the best.. they even sell them at the McDonald's there)

I also was in the western part of Ireland one weekend ago which was the 9th,10th, and 11th of Stept.It was a truly beautiful part of Ireland and what the locals call the real Ireland (which everyone in the states has seen in the movies) The Cliffs of Moher were spectacular which means everyone who is reading this needs to go. Galway was a great college town and was very lively. In my opinion had a lot more local character then Dublin does. We stayed at two hostels which weren't bad at all and very clean. Overall the past two weekends have been a wonderful traveling experience for me. Even though it keeps me constantly busy and getting around can be overwhelming at times I wouldn't trade it for anything. Milan is next weekend! I promise I will try to blog more in between... sorry Heather!! But in the meantime I will send more postcards!
