Well im glad everyone appreciates the blog--shout out to lolo for making it cute. So today started with getting up early! at 8a. Suprisingly i slept decent on a bed that thousands of dirty people have slept on. but i was so tired it was hard not to sleep well. I think showered and discovered a problem. something i am blamely laura for entirely. I went to wash my hair to discover i have TWO shampoos and NO conditioner. Good one laura, youre definitely suffering from moms syndrome. We started the day by going on a bus tour to the coast of southern ireland. it was beautiful. our 20 minute stopped turned into an hour and a half. we were looking at medieval ruins and houses that poor farmers lived in during the potato famine. Our bus tour took a few hours and we made frequent stops at lost of tourists places, it kinda got tiring, especially since everytime i got on the bus i just wanted to sleep again. the best part of the day was when the street was overtaken by sheep. we see lots of sheep everywhere. since we are in the country most people out here are sheep farmers. Tonight we went into Dingle and looked around all the shops. Lillie and I have started to make lots of friends so us and a couple other girls walked around the shops. All the houses/stores are really cool here and are all very multi colored. it makes it exciting. We had the BEST ice cream ever, at Murphy's. They give you as many free samples as you like. And i got a great honey flavored ice cream. Then we went to the Irish Folk Concert in St. James Church. Very interesting. Dad, you would have loved it. A guy played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a saw with a violin bow. And another guy was playing on a set of pipes that was very cool. But i had a hard time staying awake, im still adjusting. Here are some pics from my day today and from yesterday at Bunratty Castle.

LOVING the blog.. and the pictures... and DINGLE.
SOOO sorry about the 2 shampoos. but in all fairness, you were standing right by me and could have caught that one. thanks for the update and the photos - very appreciated. i called mom immediately who shouted w/ excitement at your update. dingle looks like the type of town you have always wanted to live in.
Hey sweetie, nice to see the blogospere being occupied by you. Glad to see you are there and having fun. Maybe you can make a trade with some poor Irishman, some shampoo for their creme rinse. BTW, Ella called today to sing me her latest song: Take me out to the ball game. You would be so proud.
lee-lee. i much appreciate the pictures and the blogging updates. i cannot wait to see more.
i'm so glad you've entered into the "married" world of blogging. this is going to be awesome. now i won't be bored for hours on end at the end of your trip when you try to tell me all about it. i love that you were in a town called dingo and i love that laura gave you two shampoos. and never fear, you too will inherit the "mom syndrome." just the other day i bought a package of sugar-free ice cream sandwiches which wade got after me for not paying enough attention while at the store. then i asked him if he'd ever been grocery shopping with three kids. anyhoo, i digress, love the pictures. i'm glad you're having so much fun. keep the blogs coming. you'll be happy when your book is all done by the end of your trip. just think, back in the day, i actually had to record my study abroad events on paper with a pen. what a concept.
