It's nostalgia time!
As I adjust to the time change (I love getting up at 5:30am feeling like I've slept in!) and get back into a normal, deadline-filled, monastery ruin-free schedule, the trip to Ireland becomes more and more precious.
Everything that we saw, learned, heard, tasted - everyone that we met (including each other) - these things are all permanently with me, and make me smile when I think about what a wonderful time I had.
If I had to pick my favorite thing about the trip (and thank goodness I don't!), I would say that I enjoyed Dublin the most. It was HUGE, but not slum-y or dirty as I had kind of expected to find such a big city. Maybe it was just the area that we stayed, but it was clean, the people were friendly, and on those last two days, we had finally started to become familiar with the streets and find our way around. And oh my goodness the SHOPPING. I would be broke in two days if I lived there, but I would be a happy broke that knows her way around!
Ennis, Killarney, Galway - those are also all my favorites. The whole Ireland trip is at the top of my list! I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to go, and I can't wait to go back!
