PICTURES

So, I am the world's worst updater. Get used to it. Last night, it took me about an hour to upload these 7 pictures because the internet was so slow, so I figured that I would add text between my classes today. Good.

If you are my family, G or LB, then you have already heard these stories and can skip to the next paragraph. If not, then here goes. First of all, cars drive on the left side of the road in Ireland. That means my usual method of crossing the street is completely backwards, so I've almost gotten hit by a car twice. Once I got over that, my housemate and I went on a three hour walk on the side of a typically narrow Irish road out into the countryside over the weekend, where the speed limit is something like 80km/h AND there are no sidewalks. Negative good. But the real kicker is when two cows somehow got loose from the milk-making farm thingy and were running back and forth frantically trying to get back in. Then they saw us and started to charge. We, needless to say, were scared and started to back up slowly. Luckily, a car came speeding down the road and had to swerve to the side to avoid the cows, so we took the opportunity to use the car as a shield and ran past the scary cow. Haha yes.
















So then we passed some cool sights and run down houses and everything. I am planning on coming back another day to explore more- I've heard there's a sacred well or something down the side path in the picture below this. And yes, everything is really that green. Its amazing! But there has been only like 1 day where it didn't rain, so that probably explains it. Since I cannot get the formatting on this thing to work, I'll just say that the last picture is of me with Dylan and Ellie. Adorable, yes?
