June 20-26, 2010 abbreviated version (more later)

Well I am currently sitting in a pub watching the world cup so all is well with me. I have had a busy few days between flying to Munich to see my parents and visit some cool sites, to then flying to Dublin. Life has been good we have had great food in great places with awesome people. My parents fly home tomorrow so wish them safe travels! Also hopefully I will not be homesick once they leave since I am in such a beautiful place. While in Germany I went to a lot of different churches, the Houfbrau house (i know i spelled that wrong), climbed the tower of Fauenkirche, went to an art museum, and had lots of yummy Bavarian food!! :) Then I came here to Ireland and so far we have gone to Graften street (think shopping), went to a new pub everyday, Guinness storehouse, Dublinia, Dublin Castle, Jameson distillery, O'Connell street, Leo Burdock's, the book of Kells, and many churches. I have had a blast so far and the cuisine is so different than Italian that I am kinda confused but it is so good I am not complaining. I do have classes starting on thursday and I get to move into my housing on wednesday!! YAY for being in Ireland, more will be forthcoming later along with pictures.
