Off With The Faeries

Just got back from an amazing vacation in Dublin. Let's just say if I ever have to leave the US I'm either going to Ireland or Poland. In all honesty it was pretty much just like the US, except they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Side note - it's really easy to get run over there.

Anyhoo - it was amazing! We spent some time roaming the streets, shopping, eating, drinking, you know the normal stuff. Friday we went on a tour to the mountains and the coast to see some countryside and the spots where P.S. I Love You and Braveheart were filmed. Beautiful!!

I (of course) managed to do quite a bit of shopping for mi familia. I was sent on a mission to find some "authentic" Irish stuff for my brother ands sister-in-law, and let me just say I did a pretty damn good job. I've very happy with everything. Also got some fun stuff for me so that was good too.





<--- That's me looking lost like in P.S. I Love You



Ahh yes, and my favorite quote of the trip, "I'm off with the faeries". It means "I'm crazy". I love it.

I managed to spill hot chocolate all over my white winter coat on the flight to Dublin so that was great too...


So there was this tower and Irish culture says that if you run around it 7 times going counter-clockwise you will have a good marriage. Guess who was running! Well, it did help warm me up too.

The story also says if you run the other direction it'll help for a smooth and quick divorce...


Coming back has been tough though. It makes me realize how much I miss about the US and how much I really don't like about Spain and their culture. I'm still really glad I've gotten the experience to do this - and without it I wouldn't be able to graduate, but it's still tough. I think getting into the Christmas and Holiday season is making it even harder.

Keith will be here in 12 days!!!

I'll be meeting my parents in London in 28 days!!!

And I got a whole bunch of Christmas cards from my family and aunts and uncles and cousins! Thanks guys, you're awesome!

4 more days of class, 2 days of exams, 1 interview and then it's Christmas break!
