Ireland Day #1

Again I apologize for the delay in writing this...things have been extremely crazy around here, but here it is now!

So...As most of you may or may not know two weeks ago I was in Irealnd for a long weekend over St. Patrick's Day! To say the least, it was amazing! I loved it so much that to be honest I didn't even want to come back to Rome...it was so beautiful!

So day one, Michelle, Emily, and I left straight from school and by the time we arrived at Galway in Ireland we had taken 3 buses, a train, and a plane. They flight was sort of interesting...we had a group of American high schoolers, of whom were kind of rude talking a lot and ignoring the stewardess and I will never forget when the stewardess was attempting to give her safety speech and she said "Everyone just needs be quiet! You will have three hours to talk, you can stop talking for just two minutes!" It was kind of funny and entertaining anyways! :)

While visiting Ireland we stayed with one of Michelle's friends, Annie, who was very sweet and an amazing hostess to us all! She is studying there for the year and lives in an apartment, but at the time her apartment was being worked on so they gave us an apartment hotel at the Radisson which was gorgeous! It contained two bedrooms, three baths, a kitchen, dining area, and living room. The beds were the best part of the whole room though!!! Queen sized beds with four pillows and a duvet! I don't think I have EVER slept so richly and this was all free! We did have to share the bed, but that was minor!
