Plans for The Weekend

*Cork Jazz festival
*Kissing the Blarney stone!!

AND next week is reading week and I have classes off...I'm thinking it's perfect timing to go see the CLIFFS OF MOHAR! (look them up, they're gorgeous)
AND Monday is a Bank Holiday so everyone has classes off. Susan and I are planning a hike in Howth. Very very very exciting. And free.

Powerscourt!

Two Fridays ago my friends John and Elliot kidnapped me and took me to Powerscourt. Basically this man lived in a HUGE house with a HUGE estate and built himself a beautiful garden to play in. Here are some pictures!

Missed a lecture to climb this tower...totally worth it!

We just walked around found a bunch of horses. It was pretty random, and pretty cool.

John and I, surrounded by moss and rocks.

The zen part of the garden

Flowers and fountains! ('fun' fact: behind the fountain is Ireland's largest pet cemetary)

The house. There was some delicious chocolate inside.

An Update!

Sequins are everywhere!!!!

Ok wow. It has been a while! My friend Susan emailed me some of her pictures, so I'll fill you in (some)

This is a Viking church we stumbled on when

we were walking around Dublin a few weeks

ago. It's the Christ Church Cathedral and it

was founded in 1038 and is stunning.

REALLY mini-cooper! Note the sun, something I miss dearly

Socialist party protesting the Lisbon Treaty.

Last Friday was vote day, and it passed.

I'll add more later. There'll be a fun entry soon, I had an impromptu adventure last Friday!
