The Story Begins

      We've been in Eire for 5 days now and they have been a blast. I have four wonderful roommates and have made so many new friends since this trip has began. This country is so beautiful and the people of Dungarvan are so kind and welcoming to us all.

First a quick rundown of what has been going on...

After one long layover and flight we finally touched down in the lovely land of Ireland. We were greeted by some great people including Tom Keith and Joe O'Flaherty. We then piled onto a bus and headed towards our very first traditional Irish breakfast. It was, shall we say, interesting to learn just what exactly the black and white pudding was.

We then stopped off again in Kilkenny and saw some awesome churches and Kilkenny castle. A castle on the first day...go us! Sadly pictures were not allowed inside but it was an amazing place.  (p.s. the picture is of one of the churches)

After more driving we finally made it to Dungarvan and had a small photo op with the mayor.

The next few days were spent exploring the town and orienting ourselves with our new home. The second night there we were all invited to Merry's Pub where we talked and laughed with each other over a pint (or two) of Guinness. Later on a group of us headed over to the club, Anchor, and danced the night away. 

More to come soon, for now...Slainte!
